After a minor surgery for which I was supposed to be back to normal within 2 weeks, I ended up in incredible pain for 6 months. Only after 6 months, it was acknowledged that something was going on but then you face the other nightmare: it is impossible to have timely appointment, they always try to have you wait months before seeing the doctor and they will not try to accommodate you in any way. The also lost my paperwork before the surgery and the staff is really rude.

I did not have a good experience. I had an extremely painful procedure and was not offered anything for pain. A friend's husband had the same procedure (cytoscope) and was given valium and narcotics. So, if you are a man you get meds and if you are a woman you suck it up and deal with it.

It is unacceptable to tell a patient there is a suspicious mass on their kidney, and not biopsy it for almost 2 months. If you are unable to help the patient, refer them to another doctor. The stress of this long wait is detrimental to the patient's possible condition. Just do it!

Worst experience with a healthcare professional I have ever had. He was arrogant, inconsiderate, laughed when we asked condition-appropriate questions, and generally treated the patient as though he was stupid. I cannot explain to you how much I would not trust this person to administer any sort of treatment for myself and anyone I care about.

Had cancer! He saved my life!

WONDERFUL

Dr. Bowles is a wonderful Doctor. Whatever he does is in your best interest. He spends as much time with you as needed & does not give you the feeling he needs to rush off. He is kind & caring & does whatever it takes to make you well. His office staff is not so kind or efficient. Once I was told I had no appointment, after I had signed in & waited for over an hour. I went back to the window & asked what the problem was & they could fin no appointment for me. I asked why did you not tell me? She shrugged her shoulders & said they did not know what to do with me. I threw my appointment card on the desk & walked out. Last week hey told me after I had signed in & 30 minutes they had changed my appointment. I asked why I was not called & the reply I got was that someone was supposed to. The only complaint I have is with Doctor Bowles Office stafk.
