dr. bowlus is a one of a kind doctor. he spends time to listen and also to diagnose the problem. dr. bowlus reminds me of the way old fashioned country doctors, he does not just spend ten minutes with you write your script and send you out the door. he observes and gets to know you. I totally like him and trust his judgement. thank you for all that you do and endure for all of us.

I will never come back to this office again because BJ Bowlus was so rude! Not only was she rude to me i hear her on the phone with either other patients or someone and she is just as rude if not even more rude.
