Dr. Bowen was very thorough and attentive. Yes you get "poked by needles" - this is what allergy testing is all about. He provided comprehensive testing and good advice. He does have an "all business, academic approach", which is good! I would recommend to others.

I was poked on my back with many, many needles....... But that is what he has to do! He is an Allergist! He was fantastic and had a great bed side manor. I would go to him again in a minute. The process was faster than promised and the report was very detailed and useful. Thank you Dr. Bowen

AWFUL AWFUL experience. My poor little girl was poked TWELVE times. The thing that bothers me the most is that he never explained anything to me. He said he did in his evaluation/report, but what he said was, "I can do a skin test, a blood test, or no test, and I'll poke anything that moves." And he slammed the door. He returned with his needs in a cardboard box. I did not know what was in the vials/needles. I am literally SICK over this. I put my trust & faith in God and the fact that Dr. Bowen is an ethical man... I am still sick about this. My poor little girl was hysterical, and I am sick about the entire experience.

We were told by our local clinic (out of province) that it would be a year wait to get in to see Dr. Bowen. When he heard the severity of my husband's allergic reaction we had an appointment booked within a week. Dr. Bowen was very knowledgable and helpful. Though he was not able to pinpoint exactly what may have caused my husband's reaction (after a dental appointment)he is doing additional tests (bloodwork) to try and see if it can be pinpointed. We did have confirmation on what he is allergic to, unrelated to the dental. Dr. Bowen was also helpful in trying to be preventitive in future dental appointments and explained the use of the epi pen and other meds to carry at all times should another reaction occur. We were advised to not have any unneccesary dental work done that is not absolutely necessary. It was worth the travel to see him. All staff that we dealt with were friendly and helpful.

used 112 needles in my back....sent me to have blood test for 30+ things. Inhumane, diagnosed with anaphlaxis allergies to nuts, peanuts and shrimp..... also allergic to many more things. went to another allergist to find out his ways of breaking the skin and using the back for testing was all WRONG! Inncurate.

We've see Dr Bowen 3 times over our son's allergic life so far. He is very knowledgable and has a great manner with the kids. Visits are not always on time but I don't think we've waited over 20 minutes at any time.

Very knowledgeable and straightforward. A bit quirky but he knows his stuff. My wife and I got along well with him.

Truly knowledgeable and helped take our greatest fears away with our sons allergys/asthma. (Fears other docs. left us with..) Gave a very detailed report and although the testing was tough, the fact that we can live... somewhat normal surpassed the difficulty of the testing. He accepted us as a patient promptly..to our surprize!
