This was my first primary care appointment with Dr Towers as a 69 year old patient. I was naturally concerned about any lab results that were outside of the desired ranges. He explained what my labs meant and actions going forward, listening to my concerns. The physical exam was comfortable and thorough. He has a kind but firm manner and I felt confident when I left the appointment knowing I'm in good hands going forward.

Dr. Towers has been my primary doctor for quite a few years. He listens carefully, answers any and all questions. Ensures that I understand what he is asking me to do, if I ask him to do something he remembers. My experience with this doctor has always been a good experience.
