Why would women fly from all across the United States to see Dr. Fowler? What makes  his practice so unique? In 2016 alone, women came from 49 states to undergo treatment by Dr. Fowler at Fowler Gyn International in Phoenix, Arizona. Consider a Pennsylvania woman’s testimony below:

“I can remember thinking that the trip across the country to see Dr. Fowler would be the last time I would go to a doctor for this chronic condition I had been dealing with for over three years. I was severely depressed and fed up with the doctors who all seemed to be the same. By this point I had been to so many different gynecologists that I had lost count, but I decided to give it one last try. Doctors I had seen all said my symptoms were just in my head, but I knew that the discharge and odor that I was experiencing was far from normal. My self esteem was at rock bottom and the thought of sex gave me anxiety; all the enjoyment was gone from it. I don’t remember how I came across Dr. Fowler’s practice online - most likely during my hours of research trying to find ways to cure myself, a period of time where I felt extremely lost – but I am grateful beyond measure that I did. Immediately, I was amazed by Dr. Fowler’s intelligence. He knew exactly what he was talking about and was sensitive and caring, something I desperately needed during that vulnerable time. Dr. Fowler diagnosed me with Inflammatory Vaginitis and told me every way in which things down there were not healthy and explained how they should be. I can’t explain how much just knowing what to call this condition meant to me, as well as the hope I felt about the future. Dr. Fowler told me that for my case in particular, treatment would be a long road, but in 8 months I have seen notable improvement. I fully trust his expertise and his methods and I can’t thank Dr. Fowler enough for what he has done for me.” N. Philadelphia, PA.

So what makes Dr. Fowler’s practice so unique to make it is worth a cross-country flight? Dr. Fowler practiced exclusively gynecology (only two years of obstetrics) his entire career. Additionally, he specialized in hormones and vulvovaginal conditions from the onset of his practice. This kind of emersion in narrow fields of investigation is nearly unheard of in gynecology. Aside from his 26 years of such experience, 22 of which were at Mayo Clinic, his gynecologic practice is one of a few if not the only one with a CLIA certified laboratory. Known as Fowler Gyn International Laboratory, Dr. Fowler conducts  advanced vaginal fluid analysis which includes a quantitative determination the vaginal constituents. His research includes first to publish the vaginal micro-flora patterns found in healthy women with no vulvovaginal symptoms. After centuries of medical research in numerous countries, this had never been investigated. It is critical to know this so that treatments can be formulated to “push” the vaginal flora towards one of the normal patterns. Vulvovaginal conditions which have the underlying etiology of altered vaginal micro-flora patterns then can be successfully treated. If you seek the expertise at Fowler Gyn International, like this Pennsylvania women above, it’s likely you’ll be glad you did. If you are experiencing chronic vulvovaginal symptoms for which you have seen multiple providers and failed numerous treatment, Dr. Fowler encourages you to come for an evaluation.
