    I did not have a good experience with Dr. Bowles. Multiple entries in my medical chart were…read morecompletely inaccurate, including my weight, height, and blood pressure. No one in the office measured or recorded these during my visits. I also found that the appointment notes described detailed conversations that did not occur. My appointments were typically very brief -- around five minutes -- yet the corresponding chart notes were several pages long and contained numerous factual inaccuracies. I was very troubled by the extent of the discrepancies in my medical records and lost confidence in the accuracy of the documentation provided by this office

    Updating after a couple more visits with Dr. Bowles…read more Things got better, there were a lot fewer red flags after that first visit. Communication is a trick, but if I did a bunch of prep and acted as confident as him, he listened better. He was disarmed once we started talking about barbecue, maybe that's a pro tip? Based on my experiences, I hope he finds a job he likes better! ALL THAT SAID! I'm still seeing him because he does three big things I have really wished for with other docs: *He advocated for non-surgical options and seemed to really consider the impact surgery would have on my life. *He was comfortable being direct with bad news and even leaned in to help me interpret bad news in plain language so I could understand what it meant for my daily life. *He seems to use realistically low expectations for how much behavior/lifestyle change people are actually going to do in the long term. His delivery can feel a little insulting and he might underestimate patients sometimes, but now that I know that I can be clear about the places I know I'm ready to put in the work. Tl;dr, Much better experience, but still I have to put in a lot of work and strategy to get my needs met.
