Dr Fowler is emphatic, caring, thorough, and kind!

01/28/2024

Dr. Fowler’s ability to make you feel comfortable!

01/27/2024

I cannot sing the praises of Dr. Fowler enough. She is the first primary doctor I have regularly seen since childhood, and the only primary doctor that I have ensured my insurance will cover ever. I feel comfortable with her, listened to, and trusting of her advice. I’ll be moving in the next year, and it’s going to be impossible to replace her as a primary doctor. I will forever sing the praises of dr. Fowler, and I know as soon as I leave that one of my friends will want to replace me as a patient because I speak so highly of her.

01/25/2024

Dr Fowler is amazing. She’s a great listener and very supportive, I always enjoy my visits with her.

Care and time given to examine MY personal needs and recommendations

11/21/2023

Dr. Fowler has been my provider for well over a 2 5 years. Every time I see her I leave feeling being heard and truely cared for. She goes above and beyond while treating me like a human being which unfortunately doesn't exist everywhere for LGBTQ. As a nurse and patient, I recommend her for any physical and mental needs, no matter how big or small... she will get you on the right path. Dr. Fowler's listening skills and intelligence for critical thinking are unmatched. I want to add that the staff at Oberlin Primary Care are just as amazing. Emily [] and Hutch are so great with communication between patient and doctor. I do not know how they do it but they do, and do it so well. They have always helped me when I needed something and go above and beyond to accommodate. Their communication via MyChart is outstanding!

09/30/2023

Dr. Fowler's assistant went over and beyond in helping me after, when leaving, had a spasm in my foot. She went for a chair and rolled me outside. Once there, she brought me a chair to sit on while I waited for my ride I really appreciated that.

09/27/2023

Dr. Fowler goes above and beyond as my PCP. Her patient continuity is exceptional as well as her passion and compassion for me as a human being. She never stops caring or finding answers.

07/24/2023

Dr Fawler excused herself for being a bit late in entering the exam room. I had assumed that with her very hectic schedule that day that my time with her would be shortened. But she took the time to explain and answer any questions I had and didn’t give me the sense that she was rushing thorough in order to make up lost time. She is a gem!

07/21/2023

Appreciate the dr. And staff

06/05/2023

My MA was great. Personable and professional

06/02/2023

I think Dr Fowler is incredible: knowledgeable, caring, professional. She makes you feel like you're her only patient when judging by how long it took me to get in for an annual physical.. I'm not! :-). I feel fortunate that I moved into the neighborhood about the same time she began practicing at WakeMed PC Oberlin so that I'm able to be one of her patients, I know she now is not accepting new patients.

05/31/2023

Dr Fowler was extremely thorough and took time to explain, ask questions etc

05/30/2023

Dr Fowler is a great doctor. But that says little about WakeMed

05/30/2023

Improvements have been made with getting appointments via the front desk. This was frustrating several months ago but this has been an area of improvement.

04/28/2023

I want to thank Dr. Fowler for listening to my concerns.

She has always provided me with the medical care I needed. God bless her.

04/01/2023

Everyone at this location was nice.

04/01/2023

It was my first visit with Dr Fowler. She took a lot of time to review my medical history. I didn’t feel at all rushed. I mmm eat Ena, the receptionist, first and she was very friendly. Hutch then led me into the exam room where he went over my medical history and noted any questions I had for the doctor. He was very personable and professional. A great team in all!

03/27/2023

Dr. Fowler spent a great deal of time really digging to the root of my health needs vs. just giving me something to treat the symptoms. She was very caring and I had hope after my visit!

03/25/2023

Dr Fowler is the most genuine, intelligent, thorough primary physician I’ve ever been to. So grateful to have her supporting and guiding me through all my medical issues.

03/25/2023

Receptionists were very friendly, Dr Fowler spent a lot of time getting to know me as a patient and never seemed rushed. She was also very personable and knowledgeable

03/25/2023

Everyone was very friendly and helpful in all aspects of my care. Excellent visit and I would highly recommend WakeMed Primary Care to all patients. Very satisfied with my visit and follow-up.

03/24/2023

She is always caring and supportive in my car

03/21/2023

Doctor Fowler had read all my medical records before I arrived and knew everything about me. She didn't read it from the computer made feel feel like a person instead of a number. She's a very impressive Doctor and has my utmost respect.

03/13/2023

Very professional environnent (Dr. Fowler, check in person and attending nurse). This is a very convenient location with plenty of parking. On a nice day, walking to an appointment could be an option.

02/28/2023

Dr Fowler is one in a million. She listens, takes time and throughly explains all!

02/28/2023

Thorough explanations, empathy.

02/18/2023

Dr.Fowler goes over and above in her details and goes even further which addition research pertaining to my specific needs and condition…100%

02/18/2023

Dr Fowler always is excellent. I was unable, originally, to schedule in the time frame I felt necessary with Dr Fowler as she is in high demand. Since Dr Fowler is my PCP I preferred to see her but her schedule was full until April so I scheduled with another Dr within the practice for a nagging issue. I was contacted by a nurse with Dr Fowler who offered me an earlier appointment that had opened up with Dr. Fowler and I didn't even as for that! Exceptional!

02/18/2023

This was a scheduled physical but I did come to the appointment sick. The front desk moved me right away to an examination room. Hutch came in with full protection as did Dr. Fowler. I really appreciated being seen as a sick patient even though that was not what they were expecting. Well done all around

02/15/2023

I really don’t like any doctors visit. Dr Fowler too so much time with me, explained everything in detail in a conversation way and put me at ease. Glad I’ve found a great doctor I can hang in to for a long time.

02/11/2023

This was my first time visiting the doctor. I was very impressed with her. My prior doctor( she retired) was excellent. I never thought I could find someone as efficient as her or straight forward with you about your health. Even though this was a first visit, I can tell that Dr. Fowler is invested in her patients care.

02/09/2023

The kindness and concern shown by the medical assistant that triaged me before I saw the Doctor. Also, they expressed their compassion when I mentioned all the issues going on with my elderly parents. That meant so much to me.

02/07/2023

The compassion and care exhibited throughout my entire visit with Dr. Fowler. She is outstanding and so is the office staff.

02/03/2023

Dr. Fowler is outstanding. By far the best provider I have ever had in my 48 years and the longest. Her bedside manner, critical thinking skills, ease of use with technology, and whole hearted care for me as a person, not just a patient, is priceless.
