Mercy Clinic Family Medicine - Monett

"I had a fantastic experience at this doctor's office. I was able to get in quickly for my appointment, and the waiting room was clean and comfortable. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful, making the whole process easy and stress-free."

"Please do not put yourself or a loved one in the negligent hands of Dr. Bowling. I don't usually write bad reviews, but I feel it is imperative, with Dr. Schmidt retiring and all of his clients looking for a new family doctor, to speak about my families multiple experiences with Dr. Bowling's lack of care and negligence.  My grandpa was one of those clients that were moved to Dr. Bowling after Dr. Schmidt retired.  My grandpa was suffering from an upper respiratory issue, including uncontrollable coughing, fatigue, fever, and body aches.  He went to the ER in Aurora, where he was NOT tested for covid. They did, thankfully, x-ray his lungs.  He then went to see Dr. Bowling to figure out what was going on.  Again, he was not tested for covid and was sent home with just a z-pack. Over the next three weeks, my grandpa has been deathly sick, losing weight, and unable to get his cough under control.  Every time Dr. Bowling was called, he would call in another script for cough medicine, saying this one will be strong enough to knock the cough.  Finally, my grandpa went to another doctor, who, after only minutes, said, "well, you know you have pneumonia, right?" My grandpa, who is 81 years old, has had pneumonia for three weeks!  This could have killed him, and it was a direct lack of care and oversight at the hands of Dr. Bowling.  The new doctor showed my grandparents the x-ray taken at Aurora ER, where even they could see the build-up in his lungs. The new doctor also said that just by listening to my grandpa breathe, he could hear the crackling in his lungs. Thankfully, my grandpa is on the mend now, but I can tell you other patients of Dr. Bowling's were not so lucky. The other time I am speaking of resulted in Dr. Bowling not noticing that one of his patients, who had come to see him for chest pain, was having a heart attack, at that moment, in his office!  Dr. Bowling released him.  Later that evening, sadly, that patient died of a heart attack."

"I rather not comment on Dr. Bowling's experience I recently had as a new patient. l'm switching doctors immediately. UPDATE: I'm so glad to report that Dr. Bowling came to my aid and is doing his best in helping me with my many health issues, thank you!"

"We love Dr. Bowling. I went monthly to Manzer Family in Carthage for over three years and became very dissatisfied with my care. I took a chance with Dr. Bowling and never looked back. We recently moved three hours away and although I tried a doctor closer, I have decided to continue to see Dr. Bowling."

"I have never in my been as humilated and insulted by a doctor in my life. I will never go back to Charles Bowling. He would probably make an awesome drug dealer but is a poor example of a doctor. My interaction with him has cast a pall over my impression of medical professionals as a whole."
