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 met doctor Towery briefly the morning of my Procedure. And he answered all of my questions and explain to me what he was going to do I did not feel there was any reason to ask or discuss anything else as he is a professional I went in to the operating room. They put me to sleep and when I woke up I was in recovery. Where my wife was waiting for me. I felt fine. They took great care of me and I would recommend Dr. Towery to anybody. That needs to have this procedure done I wasn't there to make friends with the doctor I was there to have a procedure done by his expertise. And in my opinion. He did a great job. Because I feel fine and he did what he said he would do. And i'm good with that.

Worst doctor visit: Bad experience
Dr. Towery was assigned to me during my hospital admission for an overnight stay, and in hindsight, I would have opted for a different physician. Upon entering the room for a follow up visit , it was evident that Dr. Towery had not reviewed my medical records. When I requested an additional test, he replied, "I wouldn't just give a test to a random stranger walking off the street." I had to remind him that I was his patient, not a random stranger. His demeanor was unprofessional, and I felt as though my well-being was not a priority to him. Dr. Towery insisted that I had undergone a specific test during my hospital stay, which I had not. He continued to assert this claim until he finally checked my chart and realized his error. I strongly advise considering alternative physicians before choosing Dr. Towery for your medical needs.

M experience with Dr. . asked me how I felt, listened to my heart. Started typing on his computer, ask few questions never looked up. Thought his biggest concern was how quick he could move on to his next patient.
