Nasty, old house is what he uses for his office. He is a Suboxone doctor and really shouldn't be. He makes you feel like he thinks that he is better than you and yes, he did take personal calls several times while he was in seeing me. He overcharges for the Suboxone. Yeah, someone on drugs wants to pay $600 for the first visit, then $300 a month after that!!!! He never touches you, doesn't even listen to your chest, heart, take blood pressure, or temp. They take your money before you even go back and he acts like he is doing you a favor by gracing you with his appearance! He made me wait in a crowded waiting room after driving 40 minutes to his office just to tell me he couldn't see me because I was two weeks late coming for my meds. It wasn't because I wanted to be late, it was because we were involved with the Target mess and had to get that straightened out so our finances were straight. He comes into my room and says "I can't see you because you are late and I could go to jail"! After I explained everything to him and ask him what was I suppose to do about my meds he ask "do you want me to go to jail"? Yep, I see it on the news all the time where doctors are sentenced to prison for seeing patients that were 2 weeks late for their appointment. Stay away from this doctor, especially if you are going for Suboxone! Go to Dr. Nicola, she is much better and doesn't make you feel like trash and is much cheaper!!!!!!

I've never seen anyone who is more respected by their staff. The entire staff only had great things to say about working there, and it made me want to return all the more. They would never suggest that I buy something that wasn't necessary, and never pressured me. They were always very considerate and professional. I love how attentive they are here. Even when notified that they have a personal phone call, they always wait to take it later. Their full attention is always on me and it makes me feel special. DRBOWERS IS A VERY KIND CARING LOVING DR
