Charles Bret Bowling

My family and I have been patients for years. He has always been attentive, kind and informative.

I don't usually write bad reviews, but I feel it is imperative, with Dr. Schmidt retiring and all of his clients looking for a new family doctor, to speak about my family's multiple experiences with Dr. Bowling's lack of care and negligence.  My grandpa was one of those clients that were moved to Dr. Bowling after Dr. Schmidt retired.  My grandpa was suffering from an upper respiratory issue, including uncontrollable coughing, fatigue, fever, and body aches.  He went to the ER in Aurora, where he was NOT tested for covid. They did, thankfully, x-ray his lungs.  He then went to see Dr. Bowling to figure out what was going on.  Again, he was not tested for covid and was sent home with just a z-pack. Over the next three weeks, my grandpa has been deathly sick, losing weight, and unable to get his cough under control.  Every time Dr. Bowling was called, he would call in another script for cough medicine, saying this one will be strong enough to knock the cough.  Finally, my grandpa went to another doctor, who, after only minutes, said, "well, you know you have pneumonia, right?" My grandpa, who is 81 years old, has had pneumonia for three weeks!  This could have killed him, and it was a direct lack of care and oversight at the hands of Dr. Bowling.  The new doctor showed my grandparents the x-ray taken at Aurora ER, where even they could see the build-up in his lungs. The new doctor also said that just by listening to my grandpa breathe, he could hear the crackling in his lungs. Thankfully, my grandpa is on the mend now, but I can tell you other patients of Dr. Bowlings were not so lucky. The other time I am speaking of resulted in Dr. Bowling not noticing that one of his patients, who had come to see him for chest pain, was having a heart attack, at that moment, in his office!  Dr. Bowling released him.  Later that evening, sadly, that patient died of a heart attack. Do not put yourself or a loved one in the hands of this negligent doctor.
