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.

She is a wonderful dr. Very personable and professional. She is extremely patient and goes over things as many times as you need. She is very informative. You never have to wonder if you matter or if she cares. It's obvious that you are important to her, now and in the future. I have the utmost respect and confidence in Dr Prowler and highly recommended her...

I just had surgery with my stage 2 invasive breast cancer. She was very comforting and kept my family updated. She and Dr Kazmier and Dr Nyugen did a great job

Dr. Prowler is a wonderful doctor. She treats the whole person. She listens and is a gifted surgeon. She does the hidden scar for breast cancer surgery. Amazing! She was in the OR when I got there and reassured me as I was put to sleep. She cared about letting my family know what was going on in surgery as they waited the long hours. A true gift to the medical field. Thank You!

She is an amazing, caring and gifted surgeon. She treated my stage 3 breast cancer. She heard every word I said during all of my appointments and asked every question honestly. She kept my family informed the whole seven hour surgery and made sure my husband could be there for me when I needed him most. I had not problems, no infections, very little pain and reconstruction. She is a true professional better then Mayo and Moffitt together. A true gem in a tiny place. She saved my life.
