Paul Kniery is amazing at internal meds and pediatrics! 270846-4800
Crystal T. replied:
Bowling Green Internal Medicine and Pediatrics!!!! Kniery is our doctor but everyone there is great! We never have to wait more than 10 min even if we don't have an appt and they aren't crowded like GGC.
Briana J. replied:
Pinckley Stewart at Graves Gilbert! She is also Jocelyns Dr so Courtney Kemble can give you the 411:) I love her and her nurses. Shes is extremely cautious and really good with first time mommies. In no way does she Belittle your "dumb" questions. She is all about helping. Which made me feel alot better.

Love love dr Frasier at BG Pediatrics
Chelsea C. replied:
Dr. Kelly Kries-846-4800! BG internal medicine & pediatrics! She's awesome and so is the staff!
Nikki J. replied:
Dr. Garrett at bowling green internal medicine and pediatrics is who Kaylee sees. I personally like dr. Kries or kinery (both there at BGIMP). I would recommend either. Nothing is wrong with our ped, I just don't "love" her like I do the other two. They are more soft and have kids. Dr. Garrett doesn't have kids but great with Kaylee every time. She's a big fan of no meds/antibiotics unless it's a must which I like a lot. The number is 270-846-4800. I wanted to stay away from GGC because of germs and I feel like everybody and their mom goes there. Dr. Mayfield is great at BGIMP also. I recommend any of them (even the aprn's).
Kendall P. replied:
Me and Sofa see Dr. Garrett. Lol and yes, I'm 18 and still see her.
Danielle L. replied:
Also I was with Dr. Stewart at GGC, she is good but I switched because the wait to get in was always so long even if you had an appointment and I didn't like the fact of being around everyone coughing and hacking on you while waiting, a lot of the time we were in the hall waiting. Too busy and also felt like they charged for things that weren't necessary. My bills were always outrageous there even with good insurance!
Sorry to Abuse from you all!! I'm new to bowling green. Could you guys recomend me a general health care provider, a family health care provider and a pediatrician. I...

Dr Faulkner Simmons graves Gilbert clinic for pediatrician
Emalee W. replied:
No he does not but both Dr. Voakes and Dr. Harrell do! They are in a larger clinic i happen to work there and would be glad to help. If you have commercial insurance Dr. Long is the only option hands down.
William S. replied:
GGC. Dr. Sheys my girls boss and my dr. He's very good

Dr. Sowell is who Noah sees. She's great! She is the one who switched his formula when he was having all of his issues with his stomach after the doctors at Vanderbilt refused to do it. She's great!! She has given us tons of referrals to doctors for his hands too. We love her!

Emily B. replied:
Dr Sowell has been amazing with my 13 year old and 9 month old. She isn't about medicating unless absolutely necessary. She also takes time to answer any questions I have.
Katie K. replied:
Dr. Mayfield is the worst doctor I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with EVER!! 0 personality (terrible with children), condescending, arrogant, rushes you, you leave with more questions than you came in with, always trying to shove some meds down your throat.... Dr. Kries is sweet, but I don't believe she is taking new patients. I ended up just finding one in Nashville, and apparently I am not the only one.That practice sees several families from BG. It is Old Harding pediatrics... Of all the docs I have researched in this town, none stand out, they are just mediocre... Not enough competition maybe... Just my opinion, so anyone looking for an argument won't find that satisfaction here. Hope this was helpful, check out Old Harding is you are up for the drive. They have Saturday and Sunday hours and always have nurses on the phone for medical advice. Good luck!

Dr. Lowery at GGC! That man has saved me stressful nights many times. We love him
Marisa L. replied:
We see Dr Garrett. Bg internal medicine and pediatrics. I love her! Takes her time and answers any questions.
Kayla T. replied:
Dr Lowery is awesome. He doesn't like to give antibiotics unless its absolutely necessary and he took the time to check on ME when my son was a newborn.
Lisa G. replied:
Dr. Kries is definitely the best in BG in my opinion but she is not taking any new patients currently.
Michelle B. replied:
Dr Sowell at GGC is amazing! She takes time to talk to you and explain things.
Elizabeth O. replied:
Never had a bad thing to say about any doctor in Internal Meds and Peds however they arent taking new patients. We see Paul Kniery at internal meds n peds. he is superb. best of luck in your search
Sarah H. replied:
We have Dr. Lowery and love him! Agree with what everyone else already said!
Shannon B. replied:
Dr. Lowry and office staff are great! Can't say enough good things, he's even called himself to check on one of my girls after he saw her to make sure she was feeling better. Awesome and not a heavy med prescriber.
Shannon B. replied:
I know Lowry takes Coventry Care.
Dezzy D. replied:
We have dr. Poppa Pinckley-Stewart at GGC she is amazing she was there and checked on me everyday I was in the hospital with Bristol she did all the tests herself and always takes the time to talk with us about any problems we have and she has never given a prescription that Bristol didn't need she takes various forms of o durance including Coventry care and others she really is the best I couldn't imagine having another pediatrician

Highly recommend Dr Chris! Both are good DRs.

Love Dr. Chris!!!
Mandy Z. replied:
We use Dr John S Smith and LOVE him. He has a wonderful bedside manner, always answers my questions without making me feel rushed, and is amazing with my son.
Erica M. replied:
I've met John C. Smith and had a great experience with him! I think they called him Dr. Chris. My daughter a febrile seizure and Dr. Fraser was out that day, so we saw him. He even called us later that night after we left ER to make sure Jenna was still doing okay and to discuss the ER's findings.
Tasha C. replied:
We've used Dr Chris Smith for 14 yrs. and counting
Brandy H. replied:
We like both. Dr Chris talks to the parents. Dr john includes the kids in the conversation.
Kathy G. replied:
Love them both! Dr John is our dr. Dr Chris is his son and we have seen him for illness if Dr John wasn't there.
Ashley R. replied:
We love Dr John!
Julia L. replied:
We use the older Dr. Smith. He is a very nice man but I was not happy when he wrote me a script for miralax and said my daughter would have to be on it the rest of her life. She was having a bout of constipation. I was upset that he didn't seem to want to solve the problem, just cover it up
Good pediatrician in BG that's good treating kids with food allergies can handle a full room of kids at one time and can see my Gabby quickly -who is still suffering...

Chris Smith at Pediatric Associates is amazing and has helped us so much with Clayton's autism.
Janelle W. replied:
I take my girls to Dr. Chris Smith at Pediatric Associates and he's great. It does take a while to get an appt though.
Katie F. replied:
Sophia and Dominic both go to Dr. Chris, too. My only complaint is that he talks really fast so I have to get him to repeat stuff so I can write it down.
Nick M. replied:
Dr Sowell at Graves Gilbert is great!!!
Melinda C. replied:
Dr. Chris Smith is awesome!
Jennifer M. replied:
Dr Chris!! I think he's out of town this week?! I do not like his dad john at all my second choice would be Frazier. Ped. Associates! Dr Chris by far is the best!!

Donna P. replied:
My kids went to Dr. Voakes. He closed his private practise and is at Fairview Health Care Clinic. Chariot goes to Dr. Harrell there. She's seen him a couple of times since she's been with us. I find him a caring man and really good with children.
Trying to decide on our little girl's pediatrician...any recommendations?
Amy H. replied:
Ditto what Michal said. Go with who you feel comfortable with. We have two. Dr Lowry for Alexa and dr Fraser for mya. Lowry has been awesome with Alexa and was great when she was in the hospital for four days at 2 years old. But with mya we didn't care...See More
Becky L. replied:
Dr Fraser is ours. What I disliked about the first one we had-tested poor Neelie to death over every ailment and over used antibiotics. I'm not against the mess but sometimes you just don't need them.
Amanda M. replied:
We have Dr. Mayfield. I love her. Very thorough and conservative with prescriptions. And there are two very awesome ladies who work there Venita Smith and Brittany Vinson Adams
Jennifer H. replied:
I was Dr. Fraser's nurse for 12 years until just recently. He was a wonderful boss, friend, and Doctor to my kids-love him!
Hannah O. replied:
We have Dr. Fraser also and would recommend him! And remember you can always schedule a prenatal consult with whatever ped(s) you're considering so that you can get to know them beforehand.
Liz R. replied:
Travis and I interviewed a couple of pediatricians before Aiden was born and really in my opinion is the best way to find your doctor. We have Dr. Fraser and absolutely love him. Good luck with your quest to find your pediatrician.

Best pediatrician is John Smith

Love Dr Chris too but I don't have enough patience with him. He takes to long with four kids climbing the wall!!! Makes a momma CRAZY (more than usual).
Theresa E. replied:
The BEST Chiropractor is Dr. Brandon Crouch!!:) Love him!!
Brenda P. replied:
Best medical dr would definitely be Dr. Tim Long. Best dentist Dr. Barry Sears. Both are on their own
Any recommendations for an ophthalmologist in Bowling Green? Our pediatrician suggested we see one for my 1 year old after the eye screening at her appt today. Thanks!
Erica M. replied:
Pediatric Ophthalmologist Dr. John Franklin. Call McPeak Vision in BG to set up an appointment. He was fantastic! He is SO worth the wait! He comes out of L-ville where that office is the best pediatric eye center in L-ville.
Leslie D. replied:
We see Dr. Marc Moore in Bowling Green! He has always been great with our daughter and she started going to him at 17 months. We've been to Dr. Donahue at Vanderbilt (who is also great) but Dr. Moore is who we go to locally. If he thinks you need to go somewhere else he will send you.
Can anyone suggest a good pediatrician that accepts Coventry care and will respect my wishes for delayed vaccinations ? We live in bowling green but are willing to...
Maja S. replied:
we go to Dr. Voax currently, i di not feel that he us supportive at all about our decision on vacinatiins ive heard many people say otherwise..... his shot nurse is always rude to me also, i dont get if, why do i have such a different experiance with him??
Kara C. replied:
I'm not sure if he does or doesn't. I would call and ask. He's with Pediatric Associates on Ashley Circle (close to CDS#10)
Shatana H. replied:
Dr Voakes has been very accommodating of our delayed vax'ing. And of our not coming in for well checks very often. He is VERY respectful of our liberty to choose what we subject our children to. There are some restrictions in place that prevent him from doing certain things (like splitting injections) that are an annoyance to us, but that's unavoidable at fairview apparently.
Maja S. replied:
Dr. Fraser does not accept our insurance
Kara C. replied:
Dr Fraser is respecting my wishes with my alternate schedule. He said he'd do whatever I wanted!
