    Dr Ira Bowen is very quiet and says what he needs to say but isn't very friendly and is kinda awkward

    Dr. Bowen explained the ultrasound findings and reasoning for the referral to this clinic to us. We were reassured by his explanation and expertise. Overall we were very happy with the care my daughter received.
