Welcome to my Practice!

I believe every patient deserves care that is personal, thoughtful, and unhurried. I created this practice so I could give people the time and attention they truly need.

Having been in solo practice for nearly twenty years, I have seen the challenges our current healthcare system places on both patients and physicians. People need more time and more care, yet doctors are pushed to shorten visits, fight through insurance barriers, and see more patients in less time. The result is often frustration for patients and burnout for physicians.

I want to break out of that cycle. I want to give patients the time they truly need and deserve.

At Dorothy Lowe M.D., we create space for real relationships and work together to build a care plan that fits your life.

Patients Love Dr. Lowe

  • “Dr. Lowe has been great about guiding me in how to deal with this issue. I trust her completely"

    “I love Dr. Lowe! I was not happy with my former primary physician. A friend's son-in-law who is a physician and Dr. Lowe's patient recommended her highly. She took time to get to know me and has been wonderful. I'm healthy but overweight. My weight has been an issue since I was a child. Other doctors have fat-shamed me and no matter what I did I couldn't lose the weight. Dr. Lowe has been both helpful and understanding. I appreciate her referrals and I like her staff very much. Recently I feared I had a serious problem that affected my ability to walk and maintain my balance. Dr. Lowe has been great about guiding me in how to deal with this issue. I trust her completely.”

  • " Not only did she listen, but she came up with a plan to find a solution."

    “I am on a roll apparently with finding excellent doctors right now, and it all started with Dr. Lowe. She is friendly, easy to talk to, and such a great listener! I told her about some symptoms that had plagued me for the last 4 years. I told her that I had tried to go to clinics and another doctor and no one would take the time to really listen and try to understand my situation. Well, she totally did!! Not only did she listen, but she came up with a plan to find a solution. AND I am very happy to say that I it worked!!! I've been better for about 3 weeks and still feel amazing!! Thank you, Dr. Lowe! You rock!!”

  • "Dr. Lowe is a great doctor. Very thorough, attentive and up to date with using the latest technology. "

    “Dr. Lowe is a great doctor. Very thorough, attentive and up to date with using the latest technology. As for the typing mentioned in another comment, Dr. Lowe was taking copious notes typing the symptoms I was describing and I saw her updating and amending the notes as I spoke further. I appreciated this level of detail in documenting what I am communicating and because it is all in the computer, she can easily look up my file and notes from other appointments. James is also very friendly and helpful. I absolutely recommend Dr. Lowe for anyone looking for a competent, thorough and personable physician.”

  • "She takes the time to know you as an individual, which is key to receiving the care that is right for you."

    “Dr. Lowe is an exceptional doctor for many reasons. I have complete confidence in her knowledge and skill. She takes the time to know you as an individual, which is key to receiving the care that is right for you. She listens and spends the time needed. I have never felt rushed by her. My views and preferences sometimes go to alternative medicine and I try not to rely on pharmaceutical drugs. Dr. Lowe is respectful of my preferences and accommodates them when she can. When she believes more traditional practices are in my best interest, she explains why and I have always been convinced to follow what she recommends. Her staff Jaymes and Lourdes and the environment in her office reflect care, excellence and respect. It is always pleasant to deal with them. I highly recommend Dr Lowe to anyone who wants excellent medical care.”

After a most challenging year I am so grateful to be able to return to practice.

Thank you for your kind words of support, letters, and thoughts that bolstered my strength and spirits through a very tough time.

As I resume my practice, I will be making a significant transition. In order to provide the highest quality of care, I will be limiting the size of my patient panel to a small fraction of what it was previously. This more focused approach will allow me to offer more personalized attention and increased availability to each patient.

Due to the individualized nature of this new model, the practice will be available to previously established patients or by personal referral only and will close to new patients once the panel is full.

Please note that I have opted out of Medicare and will be out-of-network for all commercial insurance plans. However, imaging and laboratory services will continue to be coordinated through in-network providers and will be covered by your insurance as usual.

I truly look forward to reconnecting with many of you in the months ahead and am honored to continue supporting your health and well-being.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Dorothy Lowe, MD
