Clear, concise and skillful medical evaluation. I left with a good plan. Thank you.
Listened well and helped formulate a treatment plan
Dr Bowman spent a good amount of time with me and answered all my questions. I am progressing ahead of schedule.
Dr. Bowman was highly informative in his explanation and diagnosis of my left knee problems. He was thorough showing knee issues on MRI, what my options are if I do not have surgery, and what my outcomes can be if I have surgery. I appreciated his honesty and did not feel pressured to have surgery. I also liked his enthusiasm, knowledge and surgical expertise. Nervous but excited to having my TKR done by Dr. Bowman in the very near future.
Good communication skills and clear on treatment options, particularly exhausting all other options before surgery is considered.
Dr Bowman explains every step of what he is doing. Although he is a surgeon, surgery is not necessarily his first suggestion.
He’s the best! I feel well taken care of by DrBowman
Solid pro.. but still waiting for after visit report..
Very personable; Thorough and thoughtful explanation of MRI findings.
Dr. Bowman is an exceptional doctor. He needed to do a revision of my knee replacement because I did not come out of my first surgery with the range of motion I had hoped for. Surgeons have a reputation for being defensive in situations like that, but Dr. Bowman displayed none of that behavior. He listened carefully to my experience, and x amines me, and immediately suggested a plan of action to revise my device. Fresh out of surgery I have much better range of motion and a fresh start. In addition to being a skilled surgeon, Dr. Bowman is a good listener and a compassionate person.
