What's the Buzz? 

"Dr. Bowers has been absolutely the best for my diagnosis and treatment. He genuinely cares for you and you can feel it in how he explains everything. As good as the doctor is, I don't think his practice would be as successful as it is without Brittney. She's an absolute rockstar. The speed at which she follows up to your correspondence is spectacular. My case was related to accommodations in the workplace and FMLA. I couldn't be happier with how Dr. Bowers and Brittney worked with my employer and provided them with all the test results, reports, and paperwork in a very timely manner. I would rate Dr. Bowers a 10/10 and highly recommend his practice."

"We took our 5 yr old son in for an evaluation (ASD, and other related symptoms) last week. Dr. Bowers was an amazing doctor who seemed to genuinely “get” our son. Dr. Bowers was honest and straightforward, yet humorous and kind. We left feeling very secure and confident in how to better treat/help our son.
He came highly recommended to us, and I am passing on that same sentiment. Thank you Dr. Bowers!"

"I wanted to extend a profound thank you to the Doctor, and support staff. 
 Despite being an attorney, college, professor, and former athlete, my life has been mostly one of struggle.
 My ASD diagnosis has brought me actual peace for the first time in my life. ASD explains all that I could not explain. 
 These past weeks since my diagnosis have been the first time that I have felt continuing peace, and some sense of joy. I no longer judge myself against the standard set by others. I have completely embraced by ASD/Asperger’s. 
 I did not know that I was masking, and that the decades of masking was taking such a negative toll on my life. 
 I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. 
 Knowing (ASD) has finally answered so many questions, and truly brought me peace. You have changed my life - positively. 
 Thank you!" 

"I am so glad I found Dr. Bowers! The assessment process was easy and I was beyond satisfied with the report and other very helpful materials I received. Dr. Bowers helped me feel at ease and I was more comfortable with the "face to face" portion of the assessment than I thought I would be.... as comfortable as you can be telling someone things you've never told anyone before! Overall a quick and easy process. Brittney was lovely as well - always quick to reply with questions etc. Thank you!"

"I am beyond thankful for Dr. Bowers and his staff. The support and direction they have given me for my children has been life changing. I would give them 100 stars if I could. Dr. Bowers truly has a gift in working with children and meeting them at their level."

"Amazing. It seemed like he immediately understood my son. Helpful and caring. Offered many resources. What a relief to find someone who cares and is willing to help and advocate for children who are struggling to understand themselves (and for their parents)."

"Dr. Bowers is amazing. There is no question he has an uncanny ability to zero in on the true issues quickly. My daughter felt very comfortable with him and the environment in the entire office was perfect. We highly recommend Dr. Bowers to anyone with a 'quirky kid', you will be glad you took the time to see him."
