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.

Dr Bowling takes the time to listen to you. Always genuinely cares and is always seeking out ways to try and help me to achieve a better quality of life. Always compassionate which sometimes is needed the most.

Great Doctor
I’ve been going to Dr Bowling for 4-5 years. I go each year for my physical as well as if I get sick etc, so I’ve seen him many times. He has a great balance of warm and friendly, yet very professional. I always feel heard and respected. I also like to use homeopathic remedies etc when possible, over conventional medicine, and I never feel like he judges me for such things. I even have my sister going to him now and she really likes him too. I highly recommend him.

I love Dr. Bowling, my health is in great hands
I have been with Dr. Bowling for almost three years nows since my move from Cali. It was not an easy adjustment but having as many issues as I have had in the past 10 years. He took them on. 1 by 1. He is the best at listening to your every concern, coming up with reasons you may be having the issue, or if you need combatting it via meds or other means. He is a caring, kind and empathetic, take action doctor.... He very patient and will offer suggestions. Not kush things down your throat as some docs tend to do.

Dr bowling has been my family dr for more than 10 yrs. I trust him, he's patient, and extremely knowledgeable, and extra friendly. I would recommend him to anyone who suffers from diabetes to arthritis, to heart issues. He's one of the best doctors I have ever had and I've been sick with congestive heart failures for over 17 years.

Not Dr Bowling specifically but the whole Johnston Medical associates group. The staff can't be bothered to answer the phone most of the time and when you finally do get a human being, it doesn't matter what the problem is, you can wait 2 weeks. It's entirely possible I will lose hearing in one ear because they can't be bothered to fit me in. Next time I'll schedule an ear infection so I don't have to bother them.
