TERRIBLE attitude when my boyfriend called him to get his COVID results. he’s lucky he had my sweetheart of a boyfriend on the phone and not me. he called us back after the operator left a message and when my boyfriend greeted him he said “you called me what do you want” had a terrible tone throughout the call and was being a smarta** the whole time also when my boyfriend thanked him at the end he didn’t even respond and hung up. please retire and find another job if you’re this hateful to someone that’s nothing but nice to you!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Bowen's for many years. He first treated me when I had been run over by a car and was in bad shape. His bedside manner at the hospital and his informed treatment convinced me that this was the doctor I wanted to see on a regular basis. Dr. Bowen has seen me through many illnesses and I honestly don't know if I would still be alive without his care. If for any reason he feels that I need to see a specialist, he never hesitates to recommend that. My visits with him give me the feeling that whatever my need is that it is important and he takes the time to assure that all my needs are met. I recommend him completely. If you want a doctor who truly cares about his patients then Dr. Bowen is the one to see. I thank God that He blessed me with such a caring and thorough physician. Anita C. McGuire

Dr. Bowen is an excellent family physician. Very caring, always taking time to listen. He's been my physician for about at least 20 years, wouldn't go to anyone else. If he doesn't know the problem always willing to refer to a specialist. Fine man.
