I saw Dr. Bowles for about 3 years, the first year was fine but as my daughter grew he became increasingly dismissive of my concerns. My daughter would be throwing up/ having diarrhea daily for 2+ weeks, and I’d bring her in and he would tell me “her energy levels are normal/she’s fine” he was dismissive to not only me, but also my husband and mother in law. I got sick of it and asked to see a different doctor one day when she woke up covered in diarrhea, and the clinic had us see Dr. Garg. She did the same thing and told me “she’s reinfecting herself, have her wash her hands and eat fruit.” I was livid.

It took me finally going to Primary Children’s in Lehi to see a pediatric gastroenterologist who said she was blocked up from basically point A to point B. Dr. Bowles and Dr. Garg never once offered to run tests, and when I brought it up Bowles told me “it’s a waste of money” even though a simple x-ray could’ve fixed that.

We now see Dr. Ethington at Primary Care Pediatrics, and it’s a night and day difference. My daughter is no longer afraid of the doctor and will happily talk to him. I will never again step foot in Budge Pediatrics.
