So he gets an extra point for social skills and expertise. If you have atherosclerosis or some other common heart condition, he may well save your life, at least in the short run, and have great success even over the long term. He may also have saved my partner's life when his heart was seriously fibrillating, though I think an earlier doctor at the hospital really gets the credit as being the one on duty first. If you want to try out alternative medicine, he is not your man (though he seems to have nothing against taking extra CoQ10, magnesium and d-ribose if you think of it yourself). Also, he does not seek out root causes that may be outside the field of cardiology, such as possible causes for lone atrial fibrillation (which according to my unprofessional research of publications could be due to B1 deficiency - in the US most likely caused by alcoholism, or Lyme disease, thyroid or other glandular problems, diabetes, or something else.) I give our case as an example. Lone atrial fibrillation is our issue. It may not be yours. Expect prescription heart-related drugs. Do your own homework about side effects. He did not seem helpful when we raised concerns about long-term side effects. When we talked about warfarin a couple of years ago, he did not discuss the pros and cons of warfarin versus other anti-coagulants, but just tried to scare the patient into continuing warfarin. I feel this is negligent. There are alternatives, including at least two other prescription drugs. Perhaps insurance won't pay for them, but that is no reason to withhold information about them. (Insurance or economic conditions for the patient may change, after all. Warfarin is a Vitamin K2 antagonist and as such can cause osteoporosis, by the way. Other heart medicine may also cause osteoporosis. Dr. Bowden is not concerned. I am. It would make logical sense to monitor bone density over time. Nobody is doing that.) Regarding atrial fib, his only explanation was that in this case it was probably caused by a virus, and if you went looking for it, it would be gone by now. In my humble opinion, settling too quickly on that as an explanation fails to rule out other causes, thereby potentially missing something very important. (Though to be fair, a prior blood test did not suggest thyroid problems, so we can probably rule that one out.) He is assuming the cause is now gone, and only the atrial fibrillation remains. I am not so sure the initial cause is gone. I know the patient. He has other problems that have not been addressed (including possible Lyme disease - given the number of tick bites he has had, sometimes while sleeping, so the ticks were on him for hours, not minutes) and if they are not the cause of the atrial fib, they most likely contribute to his overall ill health, including adversely affecting the atrial fib. Unfortunately, the patient cannot afford to pay for any tests that his conventional docs do not think to do. All in all, if I had to have a cardiologist in an emergency, I would not be worried if Dr. Bowden was assigned to me at the hospital. For long-term care, though, I would look beyond Dr. Bowden. His may be focusing too narrowly within his specialty.

Many times doctors will either make you feel like you are a sub-human, or they will be overly cautious, and make you feel like they are just trying to keep from getting into a lawsuit or something! Dr. Anton is an Internal medicine doctor, he is very astute in Diagnostics, and works with you to find the best plan for your better health. I didn't want to take the Rx for lowering cholesterol, so he found the holistic approach of red yeast, and asked me to try it instead. I like that approach... I take enough pills! Old fashioned, lab coat wearing doctors who weigh you every time you visit, and ask about changes in eating if you lose 5 lbs. is a doctor who is paying close attention to my well being! I hope he doesn't decide to retire anytime soon!!! There is only one bad thing... it's not about him at all ... The person who answers the phone is not very nice!
