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.

All appointments were on time, little or no wait. Dr. Stowell was not hurried and answered all questions clearly. I would not hesitate to recommend him and this practice to family and friends.

Highly recommend Dr. Stowell for carpal tunnel surgery. I had separate surgeries on each hand six weeks apart, and due to his precise incisions there will not be any scarring. Recuperation was quick.

I am 64 and had total shoulder replacement. My experience was very good with Dr. Stowell with no complications or much pain on the 3ed day after surgery. On the 4th day I stopped strong pain meds. He said I was a trooper. I would refer anyone to him for their surgery.

I have used Dr. Stowell for 17 years and have nothing but good to say about him. Took care of my carpel tunnel and just recently operated on my trigger finger after several injections only lasted approx. 1 year. I would not even consider going to another doctor for such issues.

Did all the tests and declared I needed surgery but resisted due to my age. Told me to wait a year to see if it will heal its self. Didn't listen to me lied in his reports. Since then have seen another dr that said because I waited so long my hand will likely never be 100% nerve seems to have been too compressed for too long. My current dr said I shouldn't have waited so long.

Not too impressed. Had 2 visits with him. He probably spent total 20 minutes with me in the 2 visits. Didn't really listen to me. Am looking for a better doctor. Wouldn't recommend him to others. On the compassion scale I would give a 1. Very hurried.
