Review for Dr. Bowers
I was diagnosed with lymphedema 26 years ago. This is the first time in 26 years that I’ve had a doctor that I trust with my legs and matches my urgency in being proactive with treatment. In keeping this short-and-sweet, I’ll be his patient until the day he retires. Thank you, Dr. Mote for being...

Review for Dr. Mote
I loved Dr. Rocca. He was the only doctor to diagnose my polymyalgia & treat it successfully. I’ve been his patient for 20 years; his treatments allowed me a fairly normal life all this time. Plus I looked forward to his jokes & our political discussions.

Dr. Bowers could not have been nicer. He makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to explain things to you. I never felt rushed. I think he really cares about your well being. Friends have gone to him and felt the same way. I will definitely recommend Dr. Bowers without reservation.
