Bruce K. Lowell, MD

I am addicted to food, have been on dozens of diets, some with great success, but I revert to old habits in the following months. Now with the guidance and continued over watch of my P.C.P. Dr. Bruce Lowell I began my latest weight loss journey. I started at about 410lbs, in January 2024 and with Dr. Lowell’s continual blood testing and weighing on about a monthly basis began my latest weight loss journey. He suggested a two pronged attack, using intermittent fasting and Mounjaro. My A1C was I believe 6.1, I had been taking prescription medication to keep my sugar levels down.
Being obese and having other medical issues Dr. Lowell checked my weight and blood continually as I began to lose weight.. At this time I was taking numerous prescription medications for my heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, and more. I began to loss weight quickly and as months passed bye, I began to actually see the difference in the clothes I was wearing. Around June 24, I began to feel symptoms of dizziness and Dr. Lowell reduced number and size of my medications. This was working great, I had a lot more energy and mobility. As my diet progressed, I had difficulty getting my Mounjaro prescriptions refilled, but Dr. Lowell was there to assist me in finding a pharmacy that could supply me with Mounjaro.
It has been about 14 months and my weight loss continues. Some months are really encouraging and others are disappointing. I have misplaced a little more than 170 pounds, I do not count it as lost weight until I keep it off two years. I am 238 pounds as of my last doctors appointment. My goal is 190-200 pounds! Then building some back in muscle, with 215 my maximum. It is a wonderful rush seeing the scale when I have a good weight loss weigh in. And depressing when the results do not show the hard work put into dieting. Mounjaro really helps curb my appetite, but your will power is continually tested. I have learned to stay away from situations where overeating occurs, Holiday dinners you need to either leave early, or excuse myself from the table.
My weight a few years ago was over 500 lbs, and under Dr. Lowell guidance I was slowly able to lose over 100 lbs over a couple of years. With my doctors expertise, knowledge, and education specializing in obesity I have been able to successfully diet, while feeling strong and healthy. I owe it to Dr. Lowell for providing me with the tools and necessary knowledge to reduce my weight and most importantly to maintain my desired weight.

Dr. Lowell has been my Primary Care doctor since 1994, so this year we (I) celebrate our thirty year anniversary !

Dr. Lowell has helped me through some extremely painful ailments and other medical conditions as well. He is well read and extremely knowledgeable and up to date with his research. He is kind, helpful and I believe he saved my life.

I didn't like having to sign up for MDVIP as I am on a fixed income and the cost goes up every year ( maybe MDVIP should freeze the rates for seniors) which causes me to cut back on other things. Nonetheless, I did sign up for MDVIP because I like Dr. Lowell and I didn't want to lose his knowledge, expertise and care and friendship.

Thirty years ago, when I first met with Dr. Lowell his waiting room was full and waiting time was over an hour. Now since MDVIP, my longest wait time has been about ten minutes. Now when I am with Dr. Lowell, we spend about thirty minutes together with undivided attention. I am made to feel as if I am his only patient !

In September, I received a letter from MDVIP / Dr. Lowell and I was afraid to open it as I was concerned that he was announcing his retirement. After reading the letter I realized it was a totally different topic but I brought my concern to Dr Lowell during our next appointment and he put my mind to ease... NOT YET !

If not for MDVIP, I would not be able to have Dr. Lowell spend quality time with me discussing my health situation and ways to improve it.

So, thank you, Bruce, for helping me live the best life I can.

One last note about his staff. They are the friendliest people one could meet. They know everyone by first name and greet everyone as a guest. I could not end this story without thanking them ALL for their kindness over the years.

My son is dr. Lowell patient. For some time he was begging me to see dr.Lowell and maybe switch to his practice. At the time I was very unhappy with my current family doctor . Every time I saw him I had that feeling that he was not interested with my health concerns and couldn’t wait to see my back at the door.
But then I met dr. Lowell and everything changed! He is a real professional and very kind person, passionate about helping his patients. I was amazed about his energy and enthusiasm, his persuasive way of communicating medical data. And genuine CARE! Finally I found a doctor to trust!

I am fat, overweight, obese for most of my adult life and Dr. Lowell has educated, instructed, and provided me the resources to become healthier. I have strived to maintain my weight loses many, times and now have become successful. He has guided me by educating me on weight loss. Dr. Lowell is an expert in weight loss and geriatrics. And over many years having Dr. Lowell, as my PCP, he has used his expertise to also advise me in preventative medicine to keep me healthy. He takes time with his patients, not just mdvip, but before mdvip too. Some of the members of Dr. Lowell’s staff are with him over 30 years and it is always nice dealing with people you’ve become friendly with over the years. The staff is always helpful, friendly, and go out of their way to assist or make life a little easier for their patients. I view Dr. Lowell’s Office is a GREAT MEDICAL CARE FACILITY!
