James D. Bowen, MD

Long history of excellent care. Virtual visits extend my ability to get treatment from my provider.

Dr. Bowen is great. Answers all my questions explaining them in terms easily understood. Never rushes through the appointment. And he has a sense of humor. Great doctor.

I have the best experiences with Dr. Bowen. He knows me, and I feel comfortable asking any questions. He gives responses tailored to my personality and always makes perfect sense! The world would be a better place with more Dr. Bowens in it.

Extremely knowledgeable, listens, offers solutions.

So glad to have my health care at Swedish.

Dr. Bowen always provides great insight and information which is helpful in managing my MS. He's a fantastic doctor.

Had a good experience like I always do.

All Good! Knowledgeable and kind staff. Amazing doctor. I treat east knowing I'm in good hands!

Dr. Bowen is committed to making sure I am getting the care that is needed. He makes sure to find out how I am doing, if refills are needed, informs me of any new information regarding MS, etc.

I always love seeing Dr. Bowen, he's great.

Dr. Bowen is an excellent doctor!

Dr Bowen is always an excellent communicator and very Informative about my medical Issue and it is extremely easy to schedule appointments with him. The past virtual visits have gone well. For some reason we were unable to make the virtual visit work for my recent appointment so we used the phone connection which was fine.

All good! The whole MS team is very supportive.

Cannot ask for better doctor than Dr Bowen

Can't improve on perfection

Dr Bowen is an excellent listener. He is thoughtful and thorough in the care he provides.

Professional - listens and gives good feedback is always pleasant, caring and helpful

I have been a patient of Dr. Bowen for 20 years. He is an excellent physician. I feel so lucky to be his patient. He has provided excellent guidance and support through my journey with a lifelong, incurable condition. He makes the right, well thought out decisions, is extremely knowledgeable and supremely supportive. Through his advice and oversight I have been able to live the best life I can. I am grateful beyond words to him-and he knows it. I happily travel 180 miles to see him and pay 100% of her bill myself, as Swedish Is not covered by my insurance. I have had seven neurologists throughout the course of my disease-there is no one better.

He has been my Doctor for decades

Dr. Bowen or his staff always gets back to me in a timely manner.

Dr Bowen is the best! I have been going to him for 23 years.You need more doctors like him. Give the doctors what they need to allow them to give the best care. They need support and deserve the best.

Dr Bowen has always understood me very well And been very supportive and caring when I lost my husband.

All good

Bowen is wonderful: smart, kind, personable, and always makes me feel at ease.

Been working with this provider for many years. In the past...when I had an emergency, there was no one who understood my medical condition in after-hours. I don't know if that has been fixed as I have not had any emergencies for a few years.

Physician is an exception partner in planning and discussing my care with a very friendly, collaborative and caring manner. Feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to have him as my MS specialist.

All of my experiences with my doctor and Swedish have been great.

M.S. Center is a very good place to come, everyone is very helpful.

I feel that I have a great medical team, and that I'm in good hands! Thanks to them.

Always good to see Dr.Bowen. He always has enough time for me, and makes the visits worthwhile. I'm lucky to have him as my provider!

Dr. Bowen and his staff are always thoughtful and accommodating. It's a pleasure to visit with them.

I feel very fortunate to be working with/cared for by Dr. James Bowen and his staff.

Always very friendly and professional I have referred other Ms patients to this provider and they have been pleased with his professional and friendly way of helping us with our issues with our MS problems

I consider Dr Bowen a vital member of my care team. He is exceptional. Not only can I count on him to provide my neurologic care but he Is exceptionally knowledgeable about what is the current state of MS research.

Dr. Bowen was a very positive and friendly person. He made me feel relaxed and and his concern for my medical issues were discussed. The one thing I appreciated was his honesty and to the point regarding my condition. I feel I was lucky to have him while my other Dr. was on maternity leave.

I've been seeing Dr. Bowen's for almost 20 years now, and his staff past and present is always above reproach! I could not be happier with my provider and the care that I received from him!

Very good

I'm very fortunate to see this provider. He's very knowledgeable, experienced, cares about his patients and what he does.

Dr. Bowen is excellent at what he does and would not be with Swedish if he wasn't there.

I have been seeing Dr. Bowen for over 20 years. He Always listens to my concerns and makes sure I understand everything he tells me. I always leave my appointment with all of my questions answered and feeling better than when I got there.

Dr BOWEN os a great one

Dr. Bowen takes the time to explain anything that I have questions about. He never rushes the appointment. He stayed in town one night (snow)so that he could sign off on my infusion.

Best doctor and staff ever!!

It is very easy & comfortable for me to talk with the provider & his staff. They always listen to me about any concerns that I have and they don't try to rush me out.

Love the care I always receive.

Provider had thoroughly reviewed my records prior to our meeting, was very engaging, knowledgeable, explained things thoroughly, and created a collaborative and meaningful relationship.

I have been seeing Dr Bowen for 23 years. Speaks volumes of what I think of him. Exceptional!

Dr. Bowen is a wonderful doctor and provider. I can't imagine seeing anyone else for my MS.

Everyone, including Dr Bowen, in his office are amazing. All where very helpful.

I've been seeing Dr Bowen for over 30 years

All great

Dr. Bowen is an amazing Doctor! He always listens, answers questions, and provides wonderful care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bowen's and the MS Center staff specialists he has suggested I see since 2010 the care I have received has been excellent. It has been the coordinated care for my MS and other health issues I have that I always needed but didn't get until I began to see Dr. Bowen and receive care at the MS Center from him.

Dr Bowen is the best - my hero

I love Dr. Bowen! He is amazing! My friend was recently diagnosed with MS and she asked me who to see. Of course I raved about Dr. Bowen but unfortunately, she was unable to see him. I reassured her that all the neurologist at MS are wonderful and thankfully she is able to see another one at the clinic.

Dr Bowen is a great doctor. Very well educated and trustworthy and competent.In YEARS past, the on call docs were NOT neurologists that could understand my complex medical condition. I do not know if you have fixed that particular problem. Neurologists should have after hour emergency docs available that are neurologists.

Dr. Bowen and his staff are awesome! They are very caring, compassionate and professional. The best care ever. Is there a question in this survey related to changes that have been made related to being able to schedule with your doctors? If there isn't I suggest you add one, because that is a change that I find extremely frustrating

I was easily able to make changes to my appointment. I expect and get excellent care from Dr. Bowen and his team. I recommend him highly and have done so to newly diagnosed patients. Dr Bowen is one of the most competent and compassionate doctors I have experienced - one often must choose between the two qualities, but he has both and more.

Dr Bowen is awesome

Dr. Bowen participated in a study to determine whether older people who have had no recent flare-ups should continue to take interferon/medication. The results were borderline. He discusses with me the pros and cons and in the end, supported my decision. Exactly how you'd want this kind of decision to go.

Dr Bowen is an excellent provider

He seems to care, is very knowledgeable, and is pleasant to talk with.

Dr. Bowen is the best

Dr. Bowen and his team are exemplary in their care and treatment of his patients. Have been seeing him for over 20 years for my care.
