I had both knees replaced within a 3 month period. Dr Bowton was my surgeon and did a miraculous job on both knees. The one thing I can't stress enough is stick with the program, do what your doctor tells you to do . Do your rehabing and get through it. I highly recommend Eric Bowton

Dr. Bowton was attentive, professional and understanding. He explained everything well without acting superior. He is a gifted surgeon and compassionate doctor. If I ever have orthopedic needs again he is my "guy."

DR. Bowton replaced my right hip and now will be replacing my left hip. I would not think of having any other Doctor do it. He is a surgeon so don't expect small talk however he is excellent at answering a question and explaining what to expect. His staff is wonderful which shows he is a great guy because we hire in our own image! Thank you, Jay W. Thielen SR.

Dr. Bowton took his time explaining my condition and what the surgery would entail. He was very knowledgeable and professional, and I left the appointment confident that he would be an excellent surgeon for me. And he was!! Highly recommend.

The office staff was very nice and accomodating however, Dr. Bowton was very direct and seemed rude.
