I've dealt with Dr. Bowling since 2019. He agreed to take on another doctor's botched total shoulder replacement, which is exceptional. The prior doctor also failed to diagnose a serious infection for two years. Dr. Bowling is known for handling the most difficult and complex cases, and fortunately including fixing other doctors' problems. He is an exceptional orthopedic surgeon, and I believe he genuinely cares for me. He takes the time to explain what and why he is doing a particular procedure. He is a real credit to EmergeOrtho.

Final follow-up after hip replacement in December. Dr. Bowling is the best. I was referred to him from a friend of mine who is a retired orthopedic surgeon from Greenville NC. I also live in Greenville and the 2 hour drive was well worth it.
Thanks again

Dr. Bowling is the best Doctor I have ever seen. I have been seeing him for about 18 years for multiple joint replacements and other types of Orthopedic surgeries. His bedside manner is second to none. As is his way of explaining different types of scenarios for anyone to understand what they may be going through. He explains what’s wrong in-depth and takes his time with me and always makes sure my wife understands what the other side of the equation looks like so we can make a decision as a family. He even includes the needs of my Service Dog Cooper! WOW! If only we could clone Dr. Bowling. From: John Yanik

I would have given a 5 star rating, but I had to sit in a cold exam room for 40 minutes.
