Dr Allen Bowling in CO

Post by AdiosMS »

I just found Dr. Allen Bowling's website, neurologycare.net, which was in an National MS Society booklet.
Does anyone have any experience(s) with him, or been under his care and/or treatment?

Seems like so much information out there, it's hard to discern what is good, what is speculative, etc.

I've read two of his books. My take is that he tends to be a conservative neurologist. I have no idea what he's like as a doctor in person.

I just started seeing Dr. Bowling a few months ago and so far he has been great. My previous neuro was horrible and Dr. Bowling finally got my MS diagnosis correct and got me started on treatment. He is thinking I may be Spms or Ppms, but started me on a round of steroids first to see how I responded and thankfully I just finished and have seen significant improvements. He is also going to start me on Ampyra (the walking pill) as he has seen a lot of success with it in his patients. I have even mentioned pulse steroids, Ldn and other "off label" treatments and he seems to be at least open to discussing them. So, I don't believe he is super conservative but perhaps likes to try the safest most "tried and true" approaches first and then go from there. I do know that is very respected in the Ms community and is a former director of the Rocky Mountain MS Center here in Denver. I will keep you updated on how things go with him :-)
