Dr. Fowler demonstrates concern and has excellent listening skills. I really appreciate her taking the time to explain the side effects of my medications and how they may interact with other medicine should I take them, even the OTC meds.

09/04/2023

Great teamwork from Dr. Fowler to the front desk.

09/04/2023

Never before have I been to any Dr. That showed as much concern, caring, professionalism, and friendliness as Dr. Fowler and her staff. It will be a horrifying day hat I can not see her for my care.

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

The length of time Dr.Fowler spent with me.

07/26/2023

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

07/13/2023

07/10/2023

Patty and Hutch are excellent at their job. Very professional and thorough. They always treat me with dignity and respect. Dr. Fowler is the most intelligent and caring provider I have ever had. My home is an hour away from the Oberlin office. I go to this office because of the excellent care I receive there.

07/10/2023

Everything about dr. Fowler is excellent.

06/30/2023

I recommend Dr Fowler to all of my friends. She is hands down the best primary care doctor I’ve ever had. Her willingness to think outside the box and her follow up on questions/concerns are exemplary.

06/27/2023

Overall, from checking in to the Precheck to the doctor visit, everyone was very kind.

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.

06/19/2023

I ABSOLUTELY love Dr. Fowler!!! She is the best!! She gets to know her patients and takes time with us. I have recommended her to several friends who now see her as well!!!

05/31/2023

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

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.

05/30/2023

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

04/06/2023

The entire staff was amazing.

04/04/2023

Dr Fowler is an excellent Dr. in every way. She is kind and caring. She is an excellent physician. I have had some good friends to see her from my recommendation to me seeing her from friends recommendation. I drive over 50 miles to seek medical help from her. She has always provided me with the medical care I needed. God bless her.

04/28/2023

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

04/24/2023

Dr. Fowler is very thorough and friendly. She takes the time to get to know her patients and provides information with care and understanding. She's an excellent physician.

04/20/2023

Timeliness and professionalism are two of the main reasons for being impressed WakeMed Primary Care -Oberlin.

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!

04/01/2023

Everyone at this location was nice.

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

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.

03/25/2023

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.

03/24/2023

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.

02/09/2023

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.

02/28/2023

Thorough explanations, empathy.

02/28/2023

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

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

02/18/2023

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

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

02/15/2023

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.

12/07/2022

Everyone I came into contact with was pleasant, answered any questions if I had any and was attentive to my concerns.

12/27/2022

Concern for and attention to my welfare and health issues is outstanding. Dr. Fowler takes her time to make sure it is complete, and in a holistic way.

12/27/2022

Since this was my first visit with Dr. Fowler, I especially appreciated that Dr. Fowler wanted me to talk a bit about myself so she could get to know more about how to approach me as my primary care doctor. That was very respectful and she made a very good first impression!!Also the office manager, Patricia was very very helpful, welcoming and patient with my questions and requests. The attending nurse, Morgan, was extremely pleasant and professional.

12/22/2022

Appreciate the service rendered by medical assistant Mr [ ].

12/20/2022

This is my second visit with Dr. Fowler and I couldn’t think more highly of her. My husband and our best friends have actually switched to her for their PCP starting next year on my recommendation. Her thoroughness, attention to detail and caring demeanor are unmatched. I have been impressed both visits with the amount of time she spent with me gathering history and performing a thorough exam. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and career.

12/02/2022

Dr. Fowler carefully looked at my medical history and contacted other doctor I was seeing about my care. I love the concern & care given by Dr. Fowler.

12/02/2022

Dr Fowler is amazing!

12/02/2022

Quality of care, validation of and respect for concerns, and pleasant attitudes of both Dr. Fowler and medical assistant were outstanding. The medical assistant (male, Hatch? - I didn’t quite catch and clarify his name - was working with Dr. Fowler during my visit) was exceptional. Introduced himself by name and proper title, respectful demeanor, obvious mastery of thorough recordkeeping, attention to detail, understood nuances, communicated well, exhibited patience. Proficient clinical skills. Frankly, one of the best I’ve seen.

12/17/2022

From the minute I walked in to the minute I left, I felt cared for by the front office staff, Hutch, and Dr. Fowler. Everything about this medical team is top-notch.

11/14/2022

I felt very heard and respected by Dr. Fowler

Very impressed with the entire staff. I actually “enjoyed” being there! They were all very good at what they did..

11/14/2022

This was the best Medicare annual visit I have ever had. I think it was perfect!

11/12/2022

care was very personalized. appropriately focused but questions always addressed.

11/12/2022

Not being able to contact doctor’s office directly by phone is frustrating. Using my chart messaging or the current phone system of having to leave a message leaves the patient uncertain if anyone has seen and acting on the message left for the doctor.

11/12/2022

It was my second visit to the clinic, so is not easy to say. But overall I was satisfied with the visit.Dr Fowler spent a lot of time with me and explaibed everything very well.

11/11/2022

Intake nurse/assistant was FANTASTIC! You should ask questions about that person… Great first experience and I actually recommended the doctor and team to two friends already

11/11/2022

Love how she always comes up with a plan.

11/01/2022

Both physician and medical assistant are astute and compassionate.

10/09/2023

The sign in and waiting experience were both good. The staff knew I was sick and kept me isolated. Dr Fowler was attentive and very helpful

10/28/2023

Always had a wonderful experience and interactions with all at this office

10/24/2023

Dr. Fowler always makes me feel like I am her only patient she has to see. She takes her time and always asks me what my goals are for each visit.

10/22/2023

Everything is always excellent

10/21/2023

10/17/2023
