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.

Excellent care and expertise from everyone at NES,
I’ve had a very helpful and supportive experience with Dr. Bowman and his staff. Everyone is kind, compassionate and helpful. He sent me for a second opinion and this was helpful. Be sure to ask for a second opinion if you have concerns it is helpful. I’m very grateful to have gone to Dr. Bowman and his care! Beckie 5 stars Thank you!!

He made me wait 5 hours for surgery while working on "more important" clients. He did not recommend any alternate treatments or aquatic physical therapy. I went in several times post op to see if anything could be done about my pain, and his only solution was a knee replacement.

I cannot say enough about the care I received by Dr. Ronald Bowman and his staff. From the early diagnosis in 2016 to the actual surgery in 2017 to the recovery process, Dr. Bowman and his staff were excellent. Because this is the first surgery of any kind I had ever had, I was apprehensive and worried. But Dr. Bowman and his staff did much to alleviate that concern and stress. I followed the after surgery care and have had no problems whatsoever with my left knee.

We have had a series of unfortunate events in our family that has led to 5 shoulder surgeries in 2 years, Dr Bowman has done all but 1. I fell and tore my labrum and biceps tendon and was in a ton of pain. I was able to be seen quickly , have testing done and schedule surgery all within just a few weeks. He was the first Dr to do a full workout on my arm that had been injured 10 years prior. I appreciate how well he listens and considers the needs of his patient and doesn’t lump everyone into 1

Very straight forward and upfront about what he recommends for treatment and why. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the worker's compensations system and that was invaluable.
