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.

Excellent results.
Dr Bower operated on my back to remove a Lipoma. He did an excellent job and I've had great results with minimal pain. I'm three months since surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Bower.

Worst egotistical dr ever. Has a god complex. Promised my wife he would operate on her, then when he realised her condition was beyond his skill level literally left her to starve to death. Terrible bedside manner. Would wait till she was alone after her visitors left and constantly told her " you know your going to die right?" I wouldnt let the man operate on my cat!

Dr. Bower is the embodiment of what compassionate care is in a health care giver. Clear, precise and understandable pre-and-post surgery instructions made my stay in the hospital less taxing. Many thanks to Dr. Bower’s staff and wonderful nurses & aides during my surgery stay in Florida Hospital Flagler. Palm Coast is blessed to have a skilled and compassionate surgeon like Dr. Bower.

A true professional who is also altruistic and very caring for his patients. I arrived at the emergency room at 9:30 PM and was treated very well from the very beginning. I met Dr. Bower the next day and he told me exactly what to expect, i.e.. testing and surgery on Wednesday. All in all I was very pleased with the total hospital experience.

Dr. Bower's is very easy doctor to talk too. He explains the whole operation procedure and he was always open to questions. My surgery was explain in the manner that it was going to be performed and the length of the time it would take. He is an excellent surgeon. I have not had any problems since my surgery was performed. I would consider Dr. Bower's should there be any additional surgery needed. Thank you so much Dr. Bower's for all your support. God Bless you!!!
