I am beyond frustrated with my last visit. I went to Dr. Bowen in February because I was fatigued, having brain fog, concentration issues, brittle nails, dry skin, and just felt badly all around. He suggested that I needed an anti-depressant and gave me grief when I said I wanted a full blood panel done. He said, We did this last year. As if blood work cannot change after a year?! He did run the blood work but did not check my D, B-12, or Iron which can particularly be an issue for vegetarian women who menstruate. I decided to get a new doctor, Dr. de la Rosa. Turns out I had slightly low vitamin D and B12 and VERY low iron. Every single symptom I was having was a symptom of low iron. On top of the complete negligence and condescension, I could hear Dr. Bowen talking badly about the patient prior to me and about my diagnostic requests as he was right outside my exam room. If you want a doctor who will completely disregard you and will just placate you by prescribing you unnecessary drugs, 100% go see Dr. Bowen. If you want a doctor who is not a complete idiot and a jerk, please put some effort into finding a different doctor.

If he is not sure what you have he will simply invent a disease or condition. Joke of a doctor. He should have retired decades ago.

If you are an older woman do not waste your time with this doctor. He was rude, condescending, and treated me like I was a hypochondriac, even though it was the first time I had been to a doctor in three years. I ended up just leaving. I went up front told the receptionist that I didn’t care for Dr. Bowen at all, that I would pay the copayment for the office visit but I was leaving. You could tell it wasn’t the first time she had heard this, she apologized and said went I find a new doctor they would send the record of this visit. She didn’t charge me anything.
