Dr Bowers as been my Doctor for almost 20 years. I would not go anywhere else. He is an excellent doctor with great bedside manner and always listens to you when there is a problem. He explains everything so that you understand what he is telling you. Very understanding...

I just love Dr. Bowers. Very rare to find a doctor who treats the whole patient. And he listens. That's also important. And he takes everything you say seriously.

After living in the New Orleans area for over 5 years, I was reluctant to find a doctor who was able to diagnose and treat [correctly] my high blood pressure and various other "less" important issues and administer the correct medication, until I was introduced to Dr. Bowers. I can honestly say that I am beyond pleased with the comfort factor, bed-side manner, compassion, and his sense of urgency to my matters at hand. Dr. Bowers is at the forefront of the highest suggested doctors whenever I am asked for a recommendation.

Dr. Bowers was very thorough. He has an excellent bedside manor and explained options without pushing me in one particular direction. He seemed genuinely concerned about me and my health

Dr. Alan Bowers combines the knowledge + expertise of a current day physician with the bedside manner of a hometown family doctor. He's caring, human, honest, kind, savvy + takes time to explain + answer questions. My health + well being matters to Alan Bowers. He truly cares.

Dr. Bowers listened to all my questions and assured me that he would help me. His bedside manners are perfect. I wasn't scared or nervous around him, unlike all the doctors I've seen in the past. I am so Blessed to have him as my doctor.
