Dr. Erik Bowman, M.D. is an orthopedic surgeon with extensive fellowship training in adult reconstruction of the hip and knee. Available to see patients in Boulder and Lafayette, Dr. Bowman is an expert at providing treatment and care for the hip and knee joints as well as for lower extremity fractures. He is committed to providing the highest level of care possible, and he works with each patient to create a personalized care plan that gets them back to a life in motion.
After receiving his Bachelor of Engineering degree from The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Dr. Bowman earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. He went on to complete his residency training in orthopedic surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Following his residency, Dr. Bowman underwent additional training through an adult reconstruction of the hip and knee fellowship at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.
As a fellowship-trained adult reconstruction surgeon, Dr. Bowman is highly skilled at performing a wide array of procedures for the hip and knee. This includes Mako robotic-assisted hip, knee, and partial knee replacements, anterior hip replacement, and total knee replacement. However, he only considers surgical options after all conservative nonoperative treatments have failed to provide his patient with relief.
Dr. Bowman is referred the most complex hip and knee arthritis and complications. In fact, orthopedic surgeons in the region refer him the most complex problems with their total knee and hip replacements. In his short time, he has garnered a reputation among regional orthopedic surgeons and doctors for treating patients with expert care for complex problems.
Dr. Bowen is an amazing doctor.
Super nice, very professional, and helped me with a treatment plan going forward.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Bowman, and I was thoroughly impressed. He is extremely knowledgeable, has excellent people skills, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. There was absolutely no pressure, just a genuine sense that I was in very capable hands. I left the appointment feeling so confident in Dr. Bowman that we have already scheduled my first knee surgery, with the second to follow as soon as I am ready. It is rare to meet a doctor who inspires that kind of confidence during a first visit. I couldn't have been more impressed and would highly recommend him.
Many thanks for the bit of hope for me and my right leg.
Excellent care from staff, x-Ray technician and Dr Bowman! Appreciated the explanations and care!
I found Dr. bowman personable in the 5” visit.he told me he would order a MRI with contrast for my right and left hip bc. he thought I needed OR and made referral to surgeon. He told he might need to order two different times for mri because Medicare did not cover both in one visit. He did not seem very knowledgeable about Medicare and specifically my Medicare insurance, so even when I informed he seemed aloof. When I received the mri appt call, he ordered the MRIs without contrast, and the left MRI four different times. I’ve been a certified licensed RN for 50 years and felt he lacked medicare knowledge, just wanted more visits for more income and was trying to scare me about what Medicare would cover. I’ve had Medicare. for seven years, and I’m quite familiar with my plan. So I felt like either he was too rushed, trying to pull the wool over my eye, or confused about pts as wait room full. extremely disappointed. Delay in MRI and care
Kind. Thorough examination - and when I shared (after learning that a recommended course of action was a cortisone shot) that that made me old, he responded, “I didn’t say that” and proceeded to remind me that, “motion is lotion” and to keep exercising, getting strong. Overall, forward-thinking (and realistic), kind doctor.
He was abrupt. Didn’t really listen to me. Typical of many young surgeons.
Professional, personal and to the point! Excellent!!
Personable, informative, presents options, doesn't over-treat.
