Report
Last year, my 96 year old mother tripped and broke her left wrist and hip. Dr. Schwartz performed the surgery. After rehab, she had a follow up at his office and complained of knee pain. She was told a surgical screw had loosened, but the pain would lessen. Unfortunately, it didn't and she developed hip pain. Again she visited his office and was told everything appeared to be fine, and was 'dismissed' according to both she and her accompanying friend. Sadly, her pain became severe and I personally brought her to the office where a physician's assistant said she had bursitis and gave her a cortisone

Dr. Nguyen performed a partial knee replacement on my right knee almost 6 weeks ago. So far so good. The results have met my expectations to date and while i am still going to PT, the improvement has been significant and I'm looking forward to a full recovery and being able to do things I haven't been able to in years. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Nguyen. He is genuine, engaged and knowledgeable. He listens and answers my every question.

This review is by David Garrett. Dr. Bowers performed surgery on my shoulder. Not only did the surgery go well, but the recovery went extremely well. Dr. Bowers is an extremely compassionate person and took the time to make sure I had everything I needed and went above and beyond with the way she cared for me. I would not be able to do the things I can do now if it hadn`t been for her. THANK YOU Dr. Bowers!!

I highly recommend this group of Doctors if you need an Orthopedist. I have been to them three times and so has my Husband and Son. Dr. Bower and Dr. Schwartz are competent and very personable.

I suffered a proximal fracture of my right humerus in December. Sadly I went to Rothman for treatment. As a 65 year old very active woman, my doctor there blew me off as soon as surgery was ruled out. My pain level was unbelievable but that too was ignored. When I went to rehab, the pain became unbearable and I was making absolutely no progress
My Physical therapist pulled me aside and told me to find a better doctor. They all recommended Dr. Bower. From the moment she walked in the exam room, I knew I made the right decision! She listened to me and took my pain seriously. She immediately sent

Dr. Schwartz was horrible.My child was referred to see Schwartz for a fall. My child did physical therapy with no improvement after two months
He told us of my child would loose weight he would heal. My child is not the first big person to sprain their ankle. Big people get hurt all the time and we can heal even if we are big. I took my child to another orthopedic practice and they had a totally different approach to therapy and thank goodness my child is doing 100% better. Never going here again.

Dr. Andrew Bowers and the entire staff at BCOS were fantastic. Highest standards of diagnosis, surgery expertise, care and follow-up. Dr. Bowers personally called me several times checking to see how I was. She was recommended to me by a physician friend for shoulder surgery. No regrets whatsoever.
