Dr. Bowman is a great chiropractor with a vast knowledge of healing and a variety of techniques to help you feel your best. I have been seeing him for about a year and he seems to genuinely care about the well being of his patients. I have really appreciated everything he has done for me. Highly recommend!

First time to a chiropractor and I was nervous, but soon felt comfortable under Dr. James Bowman's care. He is understanding and I felt his deep concerns regarding my issue. He cares about what the underlying problem could be and I never felt rushed so he could see his next patient. I would return for treatment without hesitation.

Oh my gosh. Dr Jim is an artist. My former chiropractor was all about 'get-in-get-out, take an advil and come back next week'. And he was closed on Thursdays, the day that I tweaked my neck so badly I couldn't go to school because I couldn't turn my head. I called around and found Dr Jim, he saw me immediately, remembered my name from when I called, did a thorough examination and history--something my old chiropractor had never done--and I have been going to him on a regular basis for three months. The approach to treatment he takes is collaborative--he gives me stretches and exercises to do between appointments that speed the treatment along. What I like most is that he actually talks to me, explains what he thinks the problem is based on my symptoms, and then adjusts me. I actually know the names of some muscles now. He is also very personable and easy to talk to; we always have nice little chats after the appointment. I also admire how enthusiastic he is when he notices improvement in my condition--fist pump and a smile! It shows that he is passionate about his work from both a personal and a medical standpoint. I love going to see him.

Dr. Bowman's attention to the client is top notch. Of all the chiropractors I have visited, I can easily say that Dr. Bowman is one of the best. Going in I thought I'd be in for a quick crack of my back and then hurried out the door. Instead I got a thorough wellness check and an examination of what the problem was rather than a simple treatment of symptoms. After only a handful of visits I have come away with exercises to strengthen problem areas, a healthier back and neck, and an experience that says this doctor truly cares for his patients.

I love how much attention to detail they show. They are always so careful and meticulous. I never have to worry about them making a mistake or forgetting something or forgetting about me in a room somewhere.
I was in awe at the level of service I received. Every time I have visited I have been greeted by name and have always received personalized treatment and treatment plans. They completely surpassed all my expectations and I have gone back many times, and will continue to go back if I have any other problems.
They didn't exaggerate their abilities at all, we set a plan for my treatment and I was also given some exercises to help heal myself and to prevent the same problems from happening again. I got what was promised. I have heard of othes being treated with chiropractic care and they have to keep going back again and again. We acheived my treatment and was told to call if I have any more problems. No pressure to keep coming back unless it was necessary. And I realy like that.
I was nervous that I was going to be numb or stiff after my adjustments, but I felt absolutely fantastic when I left. It's obvious that they are experts at what they do and I feel very safe under their care. Thank you for your care!

I was worried that they were going to wear an obnoxious cologne, because I've dealt with that at other places, but they didn't even wear cologne. It was fantastic to be able to breathe freely the entire time. After my chiropractic treatments I no longer experience pain and don't need to take pain medication anymore. One thing I love about them, is that they're always willing to ask for other qualified professionals' advice when they don't have an answer for my question. I never have to worry about them giving me a wrong answer just because they weren't willing to ask for help. It was so nice to arrive and see many fully qualified staff members. I've gone to some places that were very understaffed and I've never had a good experience. This place had a great staff though, and I'll definitely be going back. I always have the best experience every time I have an appointment here. Although I have not had much to complain about, I have noticed that they strongly adhere to the customer is always right policy and if anything goes wrong make every effort to correct the situation.

I was in extreme distress on a Saturday with debilitating pain on my right side and leg radiating out from my lower back. I was very satisfied at my appointment with Dr. Bowman; he was very attentive to my pain and his efforts were directed to my care and comfort. He listened closely and made copious notes about my history and condition--a very important step often passed over by physicians. The office was very easy to locate; it is a beautiful office with well-appointed treatment rooms and restroom facilities. When I left I was greatly relieved of pain--at least 60%--and I continued to improve steadily by following Dr. Bowman's treatment instructions.
