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.

Felt very dismissed and do not feel he listened well. He had already decided what was wrong even before my visit. Very disappointed and still in pain. Wasted my time and will not return.

The only reason I would be hesitant to recommend him would be making it harder to get an appointment! Dr. Sowell is amazing and I really like him a lot. Seriously, I would recommend him to anyone having issues that he treats.

Dr.Sowell was amazing. After being put on two medications by a different doctor that actually worked against each each other, Dr.Sowell took me off both and prescribed something different and got my seizures under control for the first time in two years.

He treated me with dignity, took my conditions seriously and I believe he should be rated five stars. He spent almost one hour going over my records from an accident that resulted in a TBI.

I was referred to Dr. Sowel after having a craniotomy to help with the side effects that include my head constantly feeling like Irma in a vice, head very often feeling hot like I have the flu. And my ear always ring. To combat this I was told to take Melatonin, which he says is an herbal sleeping pill?? And come back and see him in 4 months. Sooooo, how is a herbal sleeping pill going to help any of these side effects??? My quality of life is drastically deminished including work. Thx
