Horrible Physician. Was assigned but I refuse to see her again. I have never been more humiliated. She talked over me and treated me like an idiot regarding my medications. Read her other reviews. I never write reviews but she shook me so bad I had to speak up.

She's an absolute nutcase!!! Saw her for my diabetes and she wouldn't refill my metformin claimed because I was visiting my family while husband was deployed that I couldn't pick it up out of state she then called my infertility doc and told him I was a non compliant patient with uncontrolled diabetes which got me taken off the wait list for ivf which we had been waiting for over a year! Totally unprofessional and sooo happy I have good doctors now

She is crazy! I moved from another state and she had all my records. The first thing she said to m e was your going to end up like micheal Jackson. I have lupus nephritis, kidney stones, fibromyalgia, and a couple of other medical issues so I deal with a lot of chronic pain. I have seen a pain dr for years now and had all my records. She wrote two of my scripts wrong and she wouldnt fix them so it messed my insurance up where I couldn't get them. Then i called her to make another appt because I needed two other meds she didn't write me yet. She called my phone leaving a message saying im not giving you refills on the ones I just wrote you. When it was for a whole different one that she didn't write me before. Then when I asked it her about it she threw a huge fit. I also had a clear ingrown toenail (I know bc I've had them before) she gave me an antibiotic and refused to refer me to a podiatrist. And my insurance won't allow me to go without one. Stay clear of this one

Dr. Bower has been treating me for Graves Disease. She has a horrible bedside manner. Not only did she accuse me of going off my medication on my own, and argued with me about it, until she checked my file and saw that she took me off (too soon), she slammed my file on the table and threw a fit, yelling at me, and using scare tactics on me. Two appointments later she read my blood results wrong (even I knew she was mistaken), and told me I was getting worse, when, in fact I was was improving. She told me I was on the verge of going into Thyroid Storm. I left very upset and stressed, knowing she was wrong, and feeling helpless because I have no insurance, and had to rely on her for my care because I can't afford to go anywhere but the Family Health Center. I got three other professional opinions, with the help of friends in my community, and she was mistaken. I was improving. I have since found out some very disturbing information about Dr. Bower from another doctor who knows her well.
