“Dr James Bowen is an exemplary p...”

Dr James Bowen is an exemplary physician, patient advocate, healthcare administrator, and visionary in his field. As medical director for the Swedish MS Center (and at previous institutions), Dr.Bowen created a comprehensive approach to a complex and idiosyncratic disease. The services offered through the Center staff provide not only relief and management of symptoms, but training and support in all aspects of a fully lived life. Every staff member I have encountered there has demonstrated great expertise and dedication. I wish that model could be actualized more often for healthcare of all kinds.As Dr. Bowen's patient for the last dozen years, I have benefited from his expertise in MS, participating in research studies, and guidance in navigating the current medical systems. All of this was offered with kindness, careful listening and reflection, and a steady sense of humor. I offer my respect and gratitude for his care.

Dr. Bowen has been a terrific doctor for my MS care and the MS Center which he created has provided the coordinated MS care that has helped me manage and live well with MS.
