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.

Best Opthamologist in the Country!!
Dr Lowe used her Brilliant, Clinical Skills, and restored my vision after being mismanaged by another local Opthamologist.Dr Lowe quickly assessed me, and was able to develop my treatment plan, before I could be assessed by a Retinal Specialist, who entirely agreed with Dr Lowe’s Diagnosis.Palm Beach County is Blessed to have such a great Opthamologist.

Disrespectful and Inconsiderate
Ms. Lowe does not care for people in a respectful or courteous manner. She is inconsiderate of people’s time, and leaves you at the mercy of her will because her time is more valuable and important than everyone else. The office staff are rude and unprofessional. Imagine a room of cackling witches, and that’s what you will find in Lowe’s office. It’s time for this Lowe life to retire.

I was recommended to Dr. Lowe, by Dr. Walker, my physician. My appointment was extremely uplifting and rewarding. The staff was very congenial and very proficient. Dr. Lowe made me feel very comfortable. She was very professional and very proficient. She gave me valuable, health conscious information and recommendations. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. and explained my condition so that I understood. I fully trust her expertise and judgement. I look forward to my next appointment, and I highly recommend, Dr. Lowe.

I LOVE Dr. Lowe. She is very well known throughout the medical community as being highly skilled and knowledgeable. Dr. Lowe has shown me such compassion, even to answer my call on a Saturday and let me come into her "closed" office for an emergency exam. Come to find out, not only did Dr. Lowe have company arriving at her house that morning from the airport, she also had another emergency patient waiting to be seen after she saw me. She had put our well being as her priority. I will never f

I have to say that I am very disappointed. I took my relative for a post op appointment. Staff was dressed in sweatpants and flip flops. Paper charts were falling off the shelves with papers everywhere. Exam rooms were very dirty with boxes, tarps, and tape holding chairs together. This was so agredious that I took pictures. As a fellow health care provider, I was embarrassed. We also waited over an hour as the doctor was not even present. She herself was very nice and seemed knowledgeable.
