Dr Fowke has absolutely NO bedside manner, and rushed me through my appointment without paying attention or concern to my reasons for visiting. I went in to request a referral for an ultrasound after having been experiencing terrible pain in my stomach, and after my physiotherapist felt a lump of sorts. Scary. So I went in, told her my medical history and that I would like the referral - she scoffed, said she felt no lump (even tho I could still feel it when I showed her where) and scheduled me for blood tests and a gastroscopy (tube sent down my throat) with her husband. She had her nurse call me back with the results of the blood test to tell me I'm anaemic (something hereditary, that I told HER about at the appointment), and after I had the gastroscopy, Dr Macdonald scheduled me for…you guessed it…an ultrasound!! Things continued to get worse from there, but I don't have enough room to type it all. I would absolutely NEVER return, and would suggest the same to anyone who asks.

My mother visted Dr. Jane Fowke for her hearing issue last week. What a nightmare! My mother told Dr. Fowke symptoms of spinning and dizziness, as well as hearing difficulties. Dr. Fowke briefly checked my mother’s ear, and said that you have nothing wrong. But my mother insisted that she could not hear well sometimes, and needs to check with an ear specialist. But Dr. Fowke firmly declined her request, saying that you have no pus in the ears. Then she asked my mother to leave.
Later, we went to see an audiologist in Calgary this week and did hearing tests with her. The result says that my mother’s hearing is quite impaired, which now requires her to wear hearing-aid devices. I think that Dr. Jane Fowke and her medical practice shall be put under scrutiny for review. From our experience, her medical expertise and services are near the borderline to be accepted.

I have never written a review for anything ever before but how terrible she is needs to be said.
The absolute worst Dr. I’ve ever been to. She made me feel terrible about myself, tried to push birth control on me, had a med student with her & talked about me to him like a test subject… in front of my face. She tried to prescribe me anti depressants the first time (& last) I was ever in there, when all I wanted was a Pap done & blood tests. She also wouldn’t do a pap on me because she said I was too young & didn’t need one nor should of one ever been done on me (I’m 21).. later I was at the hospital for something & they asked when my last one was, I told them what she had said & they rolled their eyes in disbelief.. then continued to do one. She was rude, completely unprofessional, tried to tell me I shouldn’t be taking vitamins (I am anemic & have been taking iron for 7+ years as directed by every other Dr. I’ve ever seen), & I left the office crying. Also answered the phone from her office once after & her staff member made me cry. I have never had issues with a Dr. before, please don’t go to this woman.. she should not be practicing.
