Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He used to be a wonderful doctor. I saw him for years and trusted him but something has changed. He ignored my complaints for years which eventually landed me in the ER and then failed to follow up with me after seeing him post-ER visit. I am extremely lucky I am not dead solely from his dismissing me. I had a partial bowel obstruction form his last surgery which a Gastro said to see Bower about but Bower did nothing to help me; just said he’d contact a surgeon and get back with me. No one did. When you call his office they ignore you. He will tell you things are “in your head” and blame pain on anxiety. He also says inappropriate, mean things about overweight patients to his thin patients (me). He’s also a flirt with his younger women patients. I am concerned for his mental health and the well being of his patients. Something bad is clearly going on with him.
