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.

Office is terrific, staff is terrific, but after a few years felt like routine and not quality care I needed. I had been seeing Dr Bowling for several years, mostly for annual exams. She had casual pre-exam talks in her office, but after a while it felt superficial. I started to raise concerns about going back on hormonal therapy and inquiring about alternatives, and came away feeling rather dismissed. Just about the only information she shared was anecdotal to her own experience, and she gave me a pamphlet to talk with the church about non-hormonal natural family planning and that was it. She was not even as up to date on some newer non-hormonal methodology and options. I will not be going back, and will find a better fit for my needs.

I would highly recommend Dr. Bowling. The office staff are professional and courteous. Dr. Bowling was so easy to talk to and I did not feel rushed. She gave me the attention I needed to discuss my health. I also did not wait in the waiting room for hours. Once I got checked in I only waited 5 minutes to be seen.
