I like my experiences at Foothills Neurology. I don't normally have a long... wait. The staff is always friendly and cheerful. Dr. Bowen is my provider and she is always attentive and knowledgeable.

Foothills Neurology has the Best Doctors and Office Staff! Everyone greets me... with a smile, from the front office, the staff in the hallways and the Doctors Assistant! I see Dr Fechtel, and in my opinion, he is the Best Doctor I have ever Met! He takes the time to listen to every word I say and makes sure I understand everything he says! No matter how busy he is, he takes the time to make sure I am comfortable with everything we have discussed before we walks out the door! Then he takes the time to walk me down the hall to the Office Staff that checks me out! And that Office Staff, also greet me with a smile and makes sure I get the best date and time for my next follow-up appointment before I leave! What is there not to like!! I brag to my friends and family everyday about this Facility!! You Are Most Definitely Are The Best!!!read more
