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.

Terrible Doctor with Horrible Manners
Terrible doctor. I recommend going to a different urologist entirely. She is rude as he ll and has an arrogant attitude that she is right and you are wrong. She doesn't explain biological phenomenon and will literally interrupt you mid sentence to mansplain something or put you down to make you look stupid. She did not listen to me AT ALL. It was like I wasn't even there. She handled me innappropriately during the pelvic exam and would not explain what was happening during the exam. I began to feel pain and asked her if she could explain what she was doing as she was doing it so I was aware of what she was doing to my vagina. She ignored me and proceeded to explain the entire female anatomy to me instead. After the exam she said I need to update myself and read about the anatomy of the vagina. B itch im a PhD in biology, I wasn't asking for an anatomy lesson. I was asking you to explain w tf you were putting in my vagina. thank you, never again.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lowe for several years. I am being treated for BPH. I have say that my experience has been very good. I certainly recommend her. She is very caring and professional.

I went in for urinary retention (I’m a male under 40), and the first thing for treatment they did was catheterize. After a void test, I was taught to self-catheterize and sent home. I decided to get a second opinion elsewhere, and it turns out that my prostate had an infection and was enlarged. Dr. Lowe never checked my prostate, so had I not gotten a second opinion, how long would I have gone with an infection or have had to wear a catheter without finding the problem?

I don't understand why Dr. Lowe has received negative reviews. I felt her bedside manner was fine, and that she listened well. She had practical suggestions for me to help manage my condition and took the time to answer my questions thoroughly. I was, however, unable to obtain an earlier appointment than the one I had booked months in advance due to the heavy patient load she has. If my condition hadn't improved on its own, I would have had to go to urgent care rather than waiting to see her.

If I could leave a negative review I would! Dr Lowe was by far, the most judgemental, rude, abrasive and ill tempered doctor I’ve EVER met. She provides little to no education on the health conditions, she degrades both patients and staff, and is quick to make judgements on character. The staff appear to be walking on eggshells and afraid of her recourse. Do yourself a favor and avoid this doctor if possible.

terrible bedside manner. Does not listen and will take your questions as arguing. She is right, you are wrong and she'll have no other way.
