Dr. Steven R Bowers

Dr. Bower is outstanding. I appreciate his knowledge and caring attitude.

Dr. Bowers has been my PCP for years, since I was a kid. Before having any serious health concerns and before I had to deal with his office staff, I never had an issue with him. Since I have had some more serious health concerns and since I have had to make appointments/get referrals myself, all I have to say are terrible things. On multiple occasions, he has ignored my health concerns and told me that "you're young, it should get better on its own." Guess what health issues haven't gone away for several years? On top of that, getting a referral from him is a joke. You have to jump through hoops just to get a referral, and they REFUSE to refer out of network. It doesn't matter if you're willing to pay out of network prices, they refuse to refer you to anyone that is not in your insurance network. I am currently waiting three months to see a doctor for an emergency issue because Bowers office refuses to refer me out of network.

Been both my kids dr. He is great

Dr Bowers is the reason I am able to keep going. He listens very well and seeks to understand. He is highly intelligent and a sound practitioner. He makes accurate diagnoses with a caring spirit. He knows how to help, and he does.

Been sick with anxiety and endometriosis since I was fifteen. Recently went back to bowers complaining of nueasea, vomiting, and back pain. He barely looked at me and said it was viral, when I fought him on it he finally ordered test. His nurse called back a few days later saying I had a cyst on my kidney when I asked her what to do next she caught an attitude and hung up. When they FINALLY called me back the SAME nurse tells me it’s my endometriosis and bowers can’t do anything for me and to go see my gyno. I fought them on that too because endometriosis does NOT cause cyst on kidneys only ovaries. It’s a never ending battle trying to become healthy again with them. They don’t listen and the staff is rude. Would definitely not recommend Been sick with anxiety and endometriosis since I was fifteen.

Thorough, listens and explains well.

My family and I love Dr. Bowers and his staff, they are caring and take time to make sure all our concerns are addressed.

Dr. Bowers is an excellent physician. He has always answered all of my questions very clearly and patiently. He spends all of the time needed in my visits and has always referred me to the right specialist when needed. I highly recommend him.

First time I called because my tonsils were so swollen that the prompt care told me to go see my primary or go to the ER. I called as soon as they opened. 8. When did they call me back? They didn't. I called AGAIN at 12 asking what was going on because prompt care told me I would need to be seen either of those places and if they were booked - fine. I'll go to ER. They finally called me back after I called again and said "dr bowers thinks it me viral, it'll go away" without even seeing my throat. Went to ER got the help I actually needed because what do ya know? It wasn't viral. Second time - today. I was off my medication for a month, i started to have severe anxiety attacks and I called as soon as they opened AGAIN, to ask if I needed to be seen or what. 4:20pm rolls around - an attack is happening and I'm thinking they close in 40 minutes? Am I not gunna get a call back? NOPE. I called in and the receptionist said she sent the note to the nurse but the doctors are out today. WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW. I switched doctors. Don't bother with this practice. The whole office is unprofessional and could give 2 cents less if you live or commit suicide.

I am a relatively healthy old guy and Dr. Bowers is all I need in primary physician. He's through, efficient, on time and not overly aggressive to prescribe tests, drugs or procedures.

Bowers has been the worst Dr I've ever been to. First appt, he walks in looking down his nose at me, doesn't look at my MRIs or injury history (I was hit by a utility truck while riding a skateboard), looks only at my pain medication and appearance, called me an addict and said he couldn't do anything for me. When I defended myself against his wild accusations, he refused care and has since systematically blacklisted my name from receiving ANY care in Springfield. Bowers is a thug and a criminal with a god complex. Find an actual doctor instead of this hack. Bowers has been the worst Dr I've ever been to.

I think he's a wonderful doctor. I've gone to him for many years. The only thing I don't like about the office is that SOME of the nurses are snooty and rude, but that does not depict the work of Dr. Bowers in any way. I highly would recommend!

Rude, dismissive, nasty attitude. Complete god complex.

Bowers is the worst excuse for a doctor I have ever been to. At my first appt, he walked in looking down his nose at me, didn't check my MRIs or injury history (I was hit with a utility truck while riding a skateboard), he looked at pain medication and proceeded to call me an addict and say there was nothing he could do for me. After defending myself against his wild accusations he refused care, then proceeded to systematically blacklist my name from receiving any care in the city of spfld.
