Absolutely incompetent staff except for 2 of the ladies, prescriptions always incorrect & would give grief to pharmacy when attempting to clarify medication. Dr. Dowe acted like a spoiled elitist, never writing anything down which lead to problems, tests never reviewed, specialists never contacted & prescriptions often never forwarded to pharmacy. Very poor Dr. Thankful to have a real Dr now.

I love her. She even asked me about my allergies (which I had said nothing about) and prescribed me something when I was in for a completely unrelated issue. Im upset she is leaving our town :(

Dr. Dowe needs to either be a family Dr or a anesthesiologist. She is failing big time as a family Dr. You wait 6 wks for an appt. and then it is cancelled and you have to wait at least 2 wks more. She forgets to follow through on ordering tests and the rude ignorant office staff gets ticked off when you complain about this.She acts like she is listening to you but nothing ever gets resolved. She never writes anything down. I would not recommend Dr. Dowe to anyone!!! There are only 2 left in our family of 7 that continue to go to her and when they can find another Dr. to go to they will be gone too.

I've been seeing Dr. Dowe for several years now; each time I've gone I've been faced with the incompetence of her and her staff. Her front staff is normally very rude and tends to be dismissive, waving you off like they're better than you, and are simply wasting their time with you. Dr. Dowe, I've also had many issues with, ranging from having appointments cancelled, to going into her office, and walking out moments later with none of my issues addressed. She doesn't write anything down,has "claimed" to have put in several referrals, all of which, haven't ever actually been sent through. She also fails to listen or understand where you're coming from, ignoring you when you're describing symptoms and claims to know what's going on. Fails to understand the meds don't work, and continues to push them. I've been forced to suffer and forfeit my schooling and such due to her lack of assistance or care.With my mental health issues, she's neglected them, and has left me still to suffer. 0/10.

Have never had to deal with such incompetence, the front two should be fired immediately, wait times intolerable only to listen to an arrogant Dr who writes nothing down and forgets and then if confronted she will threaten stoppage of prescriptions, and thats only when she is there, horrible overall, go work at the hospital.
