I have had this doctor about 15 years and he is very thorough with testing and the most prompt doctor at his appointments, you can usually get in early. He has been doctor to both of my sons who are young adults and experienced mental health issues and he supported me through that as well He has a very matter of fact clear communication and keeps on top of required tests by age I would recommend him as a great doctor. Five stars.

He will run any number of testing procedures, but that's usually all he will do. He really isn't too helpful. His bedside manner is atrocious--which if he was a great doctor would be fine. He is definitely not.

I am grateful for having a MD on my health team. However, my MD is one spoke in my wellness wheel. Some of the other spokes for people could include a naturopath/functional doctor, massage therapist, nutritionosteopath, chiropractor and, most importantly, thier own informed intuition. I get concerned when a MD excludes other practioners, patient knowledge and suggests that the other pathways for manifesting wellness are below Western medicine/science. That "peephole effect" can prevent healing for multidimensional beings experiencing complex health issues. I would prefer that MD's remain open to multifacted approaches to healing opposed to judging them as being substandard to the Westernized practices. That arrogance is outdated and we need to see the whole person. No system is flawless! With this in mind, to "put all of your eggs" into one is generally based on ignorance and fear, not to mention irresponsible. Hence, failing to address the whole person and their unique set of needs, especially with respect to investigating potential root causes opposed to simply labeling symptoms. Overall, a good MD to be part of my wellness wheel, but would be great if status anxiety did not inhibit seeing the whole individual and the multiple healing pathways that can also serve folks well over time. ✌️

Dr. Thow and Jennifer are excellent. They are extremely professional. I had an excellent family doctor prior to Doctor Thow who had to retire because of age and illness, so I had high standards coming in. He has been more than I could have hoped for.

Amazing Doctor who lets nothing slide. Very thorough, competent and caring. I had him as my family doctor for about 10 years. The best Doctor I have ever had and I've had many.

After 5 years of being a patient, Dr. Thow fired me.
He never followed through with obtaining my files from my previous doctors. He was consistently misdiagnoding me with another patients illnesses ( I am not diabetic- asshole!) He didn't follow through with any treatment, but kept adding more medications, but telling me there was nothing wrong with me. The tumor on my pituatary gland that was 2 mm when I started seeing him, to 8 mm presently. But I do not have a brain tumor ( according to him- despite the MRI attached to my file that says differently).
He is masoginistic. Hes arrogant. He wears unbelievably stinky cologne. He treats his co-workers like trash, and his receptionist and nurse practioner receive condescension and straight out unprofessionalism from him. I've honestly never met a more incompetent doctor, OR adult Male in my life.
He's a pariah. He will prescribe medications you do not need, for conditions you dont suffer from. If he's your doctor, get a second opinion, on everything.
