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.

Doctor Bowton was excellent in all aspects!
Doctor Bowton was excellent with his explanations of my condition, from beginning to end. He helped me understand the short and long term aspects and I trust him to continue being my doctor.

offered little hope for any treatment for a torn memiscus, drew diagrams on protective paper on exam table, answered a few of my questions as we left the exam room, I have talked to people with same problem as mine and they are receiving treatment that increases their mobility and reduces their pain, none of these options were offered to me as I sat there with a swollen knee and walking with a slight limp.

Dr. Bowton was the second OS I visited before my total knee replacement. He took his time with me, fully explaining what my x-rays showed. He did an excellent job explaining what the surgery would entail and what I could expect after the surgery. He was very professional and I left his office feeling very confident that he was an experienced surgeon, who would do an exceptional job on my knee, and I was right!! I HIGHLYrecommend him to anyone seeking an excellent surgeon.
