Wesley Fowler's Online Review Report Card

I paid $50 copay for him to yell at me for 20 minutes because I asked about options to try before an intrusive back surgery (complete removal of L4 and implantation of a cage of cadaver bone). Never will I see this man again! Horribly unprofessional!

It was very easy to get an appointment with Dr. Fowler. He is very knowledgeable. He is very matter of fact about what needs to be done. Recommended.

Dr Fowler saved my life. He is truly a great doctor and neuro-surgeon. I have heard the argument that his “bed side”manner Is a weakness but I will tell all who will listen that “his technical skills and laser focus trump everything else.” He is a Hall of Fame doctor!

Waited for over 2 hours in the waiting room then approximately another 45 minutes in a little room, during which time was not updated as to why it was taking so long. There also was confusion as to why I had been referred to him. I was referred about my neck and He was talking about my low back. So I was totally unprepared to ask questions about low back surgery which he said that I need. So I left more confused and with more questions than when I arrived. But then how much could I adjust to the twist in 10 minutes before he was out the door.

Very rude! Awful bed side manners! Spoke down to me the whole time.

Dr Fowler did a spinal fusion on my fiance 5 years ago. He is epileptic. He developed a baseball size hematoma but was not found for days because Fowler called him a wimp for not getting out of bed the next day and said there was nothing wrong with him... even told him to be a man and get up! 3 days later the on call doc discovered the hematoma ( after we complained for days that his surgical site was swelling). He returned to surgery and had it removed. Fowler was still rude to him even stating he didnt really have epilepsy even though the grand mal seizure he had right after the second surgery was witnessed by multiple staff in the hosptal... a rapid response was even called. He is a very self centered doctor who has no compassion for his patients at all.. maybe he treats the rich better because he sure believes he is above so many! Will never go back and hope this warns others to stay away from him. Denis remains in pain from this quacks surgical practice!

Waited for 2 hours to see him. When he finally came in he poked at me and watched me walk then told me nothing was wrong. When I mentioned my MRI results he left the room for 1/2 hour then came back in and said I needed surgery on my neck to fuse some bones. So that means he never even looked at my chart before he saw me!! Plus really bad bedside manner....does not listen to what patient says.

Excellent

I had to have a four level cervical fusion (ACDF). Dr. Fowler explained the situation and procedure thoroughly and proceeded with a 10 hour surgery with excellent results. I'm thankful to have found this neurosurgeon.
