Patient Reviews
Sep 29, 2021
On Monday, September 27th, The staff for Dr. Karen Bowles was able to arrange for an urgency visit for my wife within hours of our request. It is not the first time that Dr. Bowles and her amazing staff have helped us through a difficult situation. We all know that these are extraordinary times with much stress placed on our health care professionals, so we are extraordinarily fortunate that we have Dr. Bowles and the staff at Penn's Department of Internal Medicine.
