I'm am here so that I can share with the whole WLS world my experience with Dr. Lowe....Thank You soooooo Much Dr. Lowe... He is a kind gentleman....He is deeply concerned about your feelings....He took 45 more minutes in the surgery room for me sooo that I would have this surgery done LapRNY... That means the world to me....I did have very lil complications after I made it home from the hospital,but that's normal what happened to me, but I feel that any other surgeon would have went ahead and opened me and not work out that extra 45 min.... I'm telling Dr. Lowe is the best in the surgeon business.... He is not like other surgeons that treat you like the next paycheck....He really gives his all in caring for you and I cannot express that enough...If you met him you'd know what I'm talking about....If your considering having the surgery done I suggest Dr. Lowe...He is the best and he cares about you and your feelings... He will be there for you and do his best for you....GO DR. LOWE YOUR NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK.....GO WITH DR. LOWE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT....
my first impression of dr.lowe was that he was compassionate and understanding.he answered all of my questions and he didn't make me feel rushed.when i first met him in 2004,he knew of me having cancer in 2003.he asked me to wait for 1 more year to make sure that it didn't come back.he even called me from his cell phone because i was so upset that he didn't do it right away.he explained to me that it was just too dangerous to do it right away.i understood and waited and saw him again in 2005.he thought i was more than ready for the surgery.i'm so glad that i found him.i wouldn't trade doctors for anything.
So far I just have my first consult with him March 4th 2005 and his nurse staff Kelly was very nice and patient for me to get her the info. I really appreciate how nice she was. Dr. Lowe IS THE best doctor I have ever MET in my LIFE. He has the Best bedside manners the most knowledge and most of all he was a real person not like the Aliens you usually meet. THere is NOTHING I dont like about him. He is WONDERFUL. overall I RATE HIM A 10 NO 20. Nita his nurse OMG I love her to death too. She is soo smart and quick to get things done. Over time I have only grown to love this office and Dr. Lowe They act like NORMAL people NOT higher than you.
I met Dr. Lowe one year ago, when I had my first consultation. I thought he was very soft-spoken, but I spoke with him at length and found him to be incredibly intelligent and extremely nice. I characterize him as being very sincere and honest in his assessments and very caring about his patients. I like him a lot. When I asked his opinion about my having the RNY vs. the DS, he was very honest in stating he was biased in his opinon and leaned towards the RNY because that is the only surgery he performs.
Very Nice. He is tall and has nice smile to make you feel comfortable. Friendly and has sense of humor. I first didnt know how to take him but once I started talking to him he eased my mind some. I felt nervous but I saw a calendar in his room sitting on sink had bible verses on it and I told my friend I thought this was a good man. His staff is really nice. Meeta has really helped me alot as well as Rachael . There was nothing I didnt like about Dr. Lowe he made me feel at ease. He is a Christian man I know this because I asked him (Lol) I wanted to know if the man operating on me had the man above guiding his hands while on the table and he laughed at me and told me he was. I also asked him how many he had lost and he told me none and I told me that was good because I didnt want to be a
statistic. He sits down with a book and tells you step by step what will happen if you dont follow his instructions. I think Dr. Lowe will take good care of me after meeting him and his bedside manner will be great and with me that counts alot. I like a doctor with personality and cares about his patient.
I really feel comfortable with Dr. Lowe. He was really approachable and comforting. When he said I need you to feel comfortable with me, b/c we'll be seeing each other for the rest of your life. I felt really good about it, b/c this meant that I wasn't just a number. He didn't try to rush me in and out. I would say anyone that can get him as a surgeon, get him. He told me all the risks and told me this was a tool and how to work my tool. If I had to rate him I would give him a 8 now. After I come out of surgery smiling and living then I'll give him his 10. I would say having a bedside manner and surgical competence are two very important things. They go hand in hand.
My first impression of Dr. Lowe was that he was to young and good looking to be a surgeon! But as soon as we began talking about the surgery, the risks, and the benefits, I was enthralled. He is so personable and obviously brilliant. He stresses the aftercare required with this surgery and makes sure you understand that he will be your Dr. for life. He took plenty of time explaining the various surgeries to me, which I sincerly admire, because he's probley said these same things 100 times, and he also answered all of my questions, even the ones that must have seemed silly to such an educated surgeon.

I met with Dr. Lowe today and he was awesome!!! All the good things I have heard about him were so true!! He made me feel comfortable talking to him and answered the few questions that I had. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon to deal with. Big ups to Dr. Lowe!!!!!! I would recommend him to anyone in Charlotte. Like Usher said 'From a 1-10 'hes' a certified 20'....LOL...
I was very impressed w/ Dr. Lowe and on a scale from 1-10, I would give him a 12! His staff has been very nice and they have been great w/ following up w/ me about any questions that I have. Dr. Lowe said that he would be my doctor for life and that made me feel very comfortable. He also said that they had not lost a patient. He went over everything about the surgery in detail and allowed me time to ask my questions w/o rushing me. I'm looking forward to working w/ him.
