I would like to say on behalf of Dr. Fowke that she is one of the most knowledgeable and trustworthy doctors in the Banff area. I have been a patient of hers for 30 years. I know what I am talking about because I have worked in the medical industry for over 40 years and I would not feel as confident with any other physician as I do with her. She is a down to earth, tell it exactly how it is type of person and I would not expect anything else from my family physician. If a patient does not get their hand held long enough through their therapeutic abortion (ie: that lengthly and extremely tiresome 'poor me' comment) or they did not get their narcotic prescription of choice, then why bash the doctor for just doing her job?! Dr. Fowke is one of the few doctors who does not prescribe to keep up her patient load. She is professional and meticulous, I have not worked with many who have her standards or faithfulness to their patients.

I was recommended to Dr Jane for my first pregnancy and deliver, and has become my family docotor because of the positive experience I had with her. Her mid-wfe approach is refreshing, she fully explain all my options and not once during my delivery did she try to push a epidural or any other drugs on me. She let my labour and delivery be my own, with the added bonus of no tearing. Her office can be crazy busy, but it also serves as a walk in clinic. I have never had to wait more then a couple days to get an appointment and therefore am not upset that she is running behind. However she is not for everyone …she can be frank and to the point when she speaks, so if your sensitive find another docotor!

Dr Fowke spotted a malignant melanoma which I hadnt noticed. I am eternally grateful that she did and it was removed in time. She also provided wonderful prenatal care for both of my children.

Saw her in the clinic about extreme chest and throat pain, excessive diarrhea, fever, and body aches. She didn’t listen to what I had said I all. I explained how bad the diarrhea was, her expert advice was “then don’t eat, what’s the point?” She looked in my throat and ears and didn’t even listen to my chest where I told her where a lot of the pain was. She told me it wasn’t as bad as I was making it out to be. She also told me to drink lots of liquids, but somehow didn’t understand when I told her I could not swallow. She asked me two questions where she cut me off before I could answer. Only advice given was to drink and take aspirin. Thanks to her “professional” opinion, I ended up going home and not being able to drink or have anything in my stomach for two days, which I got severely dehydrated and ended up in the hospital on an I.V and also may need possible X-rays on my chest and throat. Was treated so good in the hospital, they did everything they could to help me.

Thankfully AB has pretty good medical coverage. I have been to her clinicam ytimes over ten years for help because my doctor was out of town. Its a walk in clinic, and I was asked my she should waste her time filling out a prescription, I could just wait.I was in terrible pain so I went to another doctor. I found out from dozens are girls in town that she has called them names for girls with STD.Several left crying, those of us who smoke,and anyone who has has any form of cosmetic surgery is wrong according to her religious beliefs.I know of many many people who would never see her again. I always beleived a Doctor should do no harm, emotional or physicaly.I would have to say she is rude,and unapproachable.Condescending will be my last word.

This is one of the worst physicians there is out there … DO NOT LET THIS WOMAN deliver your babies. She claims to be an “expert” in labour & delivery but I am sure the patients who had very poor outcomes have not been included in this “expert” rating. Her clinic and husband doctor are very poor with PR skills and I would NEVER let this woman touch me or people I care about with a 10 foot pole. This coming from a health professional as well as a previous patient. She is degrating and VERY judgemental.
