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.

Fantastic Dr.
I have been going to Dr. Lowney for years. (I saw his father and Dr. Leverault for years before him.) He has always taken the time to go over any concerns I have and listens to what I’m telling him about my body. I don’t know what these other reviews are talking about. I have NEVER had a bad experience with him. My husband, myself, and now my children see Dr. Lowney.

Felt uncared for
I really feel like Dr. Lowney is just here to collect my copay and leave. I have never felt so uncared about and had a doctor just not seem to care if I can function day to day or if i'm just comatose. Idk stay far away, he doesn't seem to have the time or energy to do this job right.

Sick person who just wanted some help – Dec 03, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lowney?
Dr. Lowney has been my doctor for about 9 years. He is kind, and hardworking. He has a lot of patients and may sometimes need a gentle reminder to follow through on an a RX order, but I've had many health problems throughout the years physically and mentally and he has successfully helped me navigate through all of them and continues to assist me in whatever health goals I'm trying to reach. Communication is key with any doctor. Don't be afraid to remind them of things or to ask questions. Dr. Lowney is an excellent doctor, but he's human and can't remember every single patients needs 24/7. A quick reminder and he'll get it done. Honestly everyone at the entire office gives off a real family feel. I truly do feel cared for by Dr. Lowney and all the staff at Family Medical in Seekonk, Massachusetts.

I came into the office with an issue my previous provider was having problems with. Not only did Dr. Lowney jr diagnose my problem, it was cleared up with medication in days. He was also very personable and actually quite knowledgable. I would highly recommend him .

The office has always been great, DrLowney and his Dad have been great and accurate in my almost 10 YRS going there. I wish the office was more accessible, calling in at 3:45 on a Wed you should not find the office closed especially when it comes to prescriptions. Outside of that have had no issues and would reccomend.

Dr. Lowney Jr. is the reason I left this practice. He has prescribed me medication without even telling me that it was for, and afterwards I found out that it is not recommended to take it with another medication that I'm currently on. My health records that he filled out do not accurately explain my major concern, and I've had to get them edited. He's fine if you're coming in with a small problem or a physical, but he does not have the medical knowledge nor the professional attitude that a larger diagnosis requires.

He’s arrogant and is only good for a virus at best. He will just sent you to a specialist for every little thing. Probably a fear of being sued as his knowledge doesn’t go beyond common colds and bloodwork. So I guess use him so he can refer you to a doctor who can actually help you.

I am leaving on behalf of my mother. This incident happened in 2016 and she still talks about it today. She has severe pain in her rib area and an xray showed some spots on her lung. She was complaining of the rib pain and he got angry. Stopped writing and walked over to her and said in a angry voice" WHERE IS The pain!!! POINT to it. So my mother pointed and dr lowney grabbed and squeezed the area hard enough to hurt her and said " WHERE RIGHT HERE! DOES THIS HURT?

I have been seeing Dr Lowney Jr for about 6-8 months for OMT and more recently trigger point injections. I’ve had a lot of pain in my shoulder, neck and back. I’ve seen chiropractors, countless physical therapists, rheumatologist and massage therapists but I’m finding his treatment to be the most beneficial to me. He is always professional and the staff at the seekonk office is very accommodating if I need to reschedule. Thankful to have found something that finally works!

Dr. Lowney is an incredibly committed, caring, and thoughtful doctor. Always answering all my questions and makes me feel like his listening to all my concerns. I seen him as my PCP to OMT treatments and let me tell you I def recommend him! He made me feel so much better after a few OMT treatments. Another plus is that hes no jugemental. Everytime I see him he always goes above and beyond with my care. I feel very confident as having him as my doctor.
