I always have a great experience with Dr. Lowder and the Legacy staff. I am treated with care and respect, and never made to feel uncomfortable or guilty about my health issues. I always feel safe and find it easy to ask questions about my health concerns. Thank you.

It is not a Federal mandate to wear masks. It should be an option for individuals to wear or not when visiting. Stop the mandate!

I consider Dr. Lowder to be very knowledgeable & friendly. My concerns are his. He's a good listener & takes action when needed. My only concern is, other people must feel the same way because it's hard to get an appt. with him.

I adore Dr. Lowder! He is ALWAYS sooo nice, friendly and makes me feel he truly cares about my health care and listens to me with great respect for my feelings. I am sooo pleased with him as my primary physician that I wouldn't change ! There has never been a time that I visited him that he didn't have a smile and was extremely attentive to what I had to say. Wonderful man and physician!

Dr. Lowder was knowledgeable, attentive, and had good humor, but was very serious about the current condition that brought me into his care. He identified what may be an underlining condition, e.g. A-fib, and recommend I follow up with a Heart doctor. Overall very good office visit.

Dr Lowder is an exceptional doctor. He always provides the best care I can get. His MA Robin was on her toes and payed attention to simple concerns I mentioned to her. She acted on my concerns and provided care beyond my expectations. Should I enjoy being seen at that facility this much? I can't help that I do. It's a thing others can only hope for!!!
