I would definetly not recommend this doctor. When I delivered my daughter I was treated in an extremely disrespectful way by Dr. Gloria Jean Bowles-Johnson. She had just started her shift and she tried to scare me. She insisted that we started augmentation even though everything was OK. She did not care about our birth plan and did not agree with what we had decided with the previous doctor. She did not listen, and became extremely aggressive and rude.
I was lucky because I was very well prepared for my birth and my husband and my doula were there with me in order to support. However, things like that should never happen. Doctors are supposed to be compassionate and work in the best interest of their patients and clients. Women in labor are in a very vulnerable position and they should feel safe and respected by their care providers. This did not happen with Dr. Gloria Jean Bowles-Johnson.

I'm assuming she is the doctor to go to if you are problem free and just want an annual. However, if you have any problems or complications, seek a second opinion. Gave me inaccurate information and did not want me to get an MRI on something that there was a need to seek additional tests. Thank goodness I had enough sense to go to another OB-Gyn for a second opinion on my condition.

I don't know about her level of knowledge, but she was the most insensitive people I've encountered. I could not believe some of the hurtful, almost cruel things she would say. Even my primary care physician was appalled when I told her about some of things Dr. Bowles Johnson said. Please, for your own sake avoid her altogether; nobody needs to be treated like that, especially when they are having medical problems.

She was the worst I've ever experienced. Does not do the research and has wrong information.

Rude, curt, not a nice person. I delivered my daughter with her. She was unpleasant & I had to argue with her DURING DELIVERY because she was pushing to break my water at 3cm - which would have been absolutely unnecessary. Although she delivered my baby fine, I'd never recommend her. She may know what she's doing but she just plain mean!

my baby ended up being transverse lie. my orginal OB did not catch this at Georgetown. The dr in the ER @ Georgetown caught it and I asked my original OB & he still didn't detect it. I switched to Bowles-Johnson and she was very knowledgeable on this. SHe was calm when telling us our options. WE ended up having a c-section and all went well. She is wonderful and I am happy to have her in our lives.

I have been going to Dr. Bowles-Johnson for several years, and had my first baby with her. I received great care throughout my pregnancy, and ended up having a rare disorder that is very difficult to diagnose. I feel that if I had been with another doctor I may not have been well taken care of with this condition - I was lucky to be under her care. She is kind, attentive and extremely helpful. She even talked over with me how to speak with my sister about not wanting her in the delivery room. The trade off is a very busy practice at Georgetown, where you can have a long wait to see her. I think it is worth it.
