Dr. Clint Sowards, DO

He had not listened to me several times. First time I was very sick and ended up in the hospital. I was misdiagnosed at that time. Second time I requested to see a cardiologist for my heart due to multiple risk factors. He stated nothing was wrong except anxiety and would not send a referral to a cardiologist and stated I was borderline diabetic. I had multiple symptoms at the time of heart issues. I found a different provider through another local hospital and they did a thorough work up. 1.5 years later, I had a triple bypass. He needs to listen to patients when they state something is wrong. Had I not changed physicians, my outcome would have been very different.

He did not listen. He was not compassionate. He did not take time to review my entire file and my complex medical history prior to making decisions on how he was going to proceed with my treatment. If someone is going to produce a treatment plan for me, my input should be included and considered in the treatment plan. It should be discussed with me in advance and explained why he believes the treatment plan should be as he decides. Additionally upon reviewing my lab results online I had to inquire as to why he had not remarked about certain results indicating a dangerous potential condition that he had not observed in my results. I had to point them out and ask about them. This indicates to me he was not paying attention to my lab results or caring for me compassionately as a physician should.

Dr Sowards is knowledgeable, kind, considerate of patients sensibilities, willing to refer to specialists and very personable.
