Seems less reserved each time we see him. Listens to me more when answering his questions.

National Jewish Health PatientNovember, 2022
Dr.Bowler ,We are very confident in him,from the first visit we both felt at ease talking to him,his explanations on test results,and overall giving us some degree of hope,that we have not received Elsewhere.I think Dr.Bowler shows his concern towards us on a conversation using words easy to understand

National Jewish Health PatientOctober, 2022
I appreciate how *Dr. Bowler made me feel. He looked at the whole person not just my lungs.

National Jewish Health PatientOctober, 2022

National Jewish Health PatientAugust, 2022
From Dr. Bowler to the nurses very satisfied with the visit

National Jewish Health PatientJuly, 2022
My experience was fair to very good.

National Jewish Health PatientJune, 2022
This was a great experience. I came from Las Vegas where the care leaves much to be desired. I was asked about what caused me to be SOB. My 3 years in NV with COPD and Lung Center no one had ever asked me that question. I love this clinic.

National Jewish Health PatientApril, 2022
Very happy with the care and concern of my new Dr he's very thorough in his examination. I felt like he truly cared about my well-being.

National Jewish Health PatientJanuary, 2022
Dr. Bowler is professional and all business. I respect that, though I am more comfortable with practicians who engage in conversation and have a sense of humor as well as an timed appropriate interest in their patients life, hobbies etc. This information is an important key to understanding the patients daily habits that worsen or improve their condition. Cancel provide clues to treatment possibilities.
