Dr. Gower operated on my back in 1998 and I've been recommending him ever since! He is the only doctor I would want to operate on me for any nerve issue. I found this site looking him for my daughter and had to give him a 5 star rating.

I was referred to Dr. Gower, he was the most amazing doctor. He went to every facet of my illness and was great at putting me at ease. Dr. Gower is exceptional, compassionate and from the minute he enters the room he made his patients comfortable and full of hope to get well under his very professional medical care. Thank You, Dr. Gower!

Dr. Gower performed my father's burr hole surgery for a subdural hematoma, he was knowledgeable, compassionate, and put me to ease at a very difficult time. Answered all questions with patience.

y experience with Polaris Spine was A plus from start to finish . The girls at the reception desk were kind and courteous. Dr. Gower was exceptional with bedside manor and skill of surgery. He is compassionate and make you comfortable from the minute he enters the room. His nurse Brandi and surgery scheduler were outstanding in getting messages to him and returning calls promptly..

Dr Gower and his staff made my visit very easy. I was nervous and they put me at ease. Even after surgery they were there to answer questions and I have had no problems since my procedure

Dr Gower was excellent in treating my husband. There were several complications that arose from Diabetes to Alzheimer's and Dr. Gower was on top of and oversaw all the doctors. At one point my husband was being seen by 5 doctors and if it wasn't for Dr. Gower, I would have been lost as to what was going on. Excellent doctor.
