I don't think I have gone in to see her at my actual appointment time ever . The clinic operates as a drop in as well, so it interferes with timing a lot. I have been seeing her on and off for 7 years, and every time I have only been given a bandaid solution. Prescriptions being her favourite remedies for everything. Just recently i have Encountered a situation that finally has me never going back. I have been on a hunt for a new doctor for years and avoid going in to see her at all costs if possible. No need to go into grave details, but just know that you are only a dollar sign, not a human with real feelings and thoughts.

Dr. Fowke has been my Doctor for over 10 years. She’s a good listener and doesn’t hesitate to recommend a specalist when needed. A Doctor who’s always “there” for you.

knows her stuff, but felt like I was just a number. Not really impressed with her bed side manner.

Definately felt more like a number than a patient. It seems like her waiting room is always full and it’s almost like she’s trying to see as many patients as she can so she doesn’t always have a lot of time. At times I’ve also felt like she isn’t taking my concerns seriously. Spends more time typing and translating my story into the computer rather than actually carrying on a human conversation and looking at me when I’m talking. I wouldn’t recommend her to my family or friends.

I have read some of the comments here about Dr. Fowke behaving as though you are just a ‘number’. It might enlighten some to realize that she is practicing in Banff, where she likely sees most patients once or twice only. I saw her for my 2nd pregnancy. She remembered my history, and was nothing but respectful. I wanted a VBAC as my first delivery was a C-section, and she was unbelievably helpful and positive about my plan and needs. I moved to Kelowna before my son was born, so she didn’t deliver him, but she prepped me well (I had a successful VBAC). Thanks Dr. Fowke!!!!!!

Not the greatest listener and makes you feel rushed in the office but great at delivering babies.
