Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He’s one awesome surgeon, I wish we had him in other professions, not just As a neurosurgeon. I like his demeanor, very patient oriented, he takes pride in his work. He did awesome job on my husbands neck surgery! Highly recommend

Dr Lowder did my neck surgery in 2010. From our first meeting I was comfortable and trusted him. My surgery went well and he gave me use of my left arm again. If I ever needed neck or back surgery Dr Lowder would be my doctor of choice.

My husband had brain cancer many years ago when we lived in Louisiana. Dr Lowder performed the surgery and had follow up visits with us. Dr. Lowder spent time with my husband and myself helping us to understand the disease process. He is a very good surgeon and we were very satisfied with his service and would highly recommend him.
