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.

I was visiting Rolla from out of town for a few days. I woke up with an emergent medical issue that would most probably not allowed me to fly back on my scheduled flight at 8 pm. Dr Bowers saw me early in his walk in clinic and after lab work was able to diagnose and treat. I did make my flight. He has a kind quiet demeanor and his nurse Gina was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this physician.
