About Louis B. Fowler Jr., MD

I have had the pleasure of being a primary care family physician in Pensacola for over 30 years. I was fortunate enough to have been selected for a full scholarship to medical school by the U.S. Navy and served as a NAVY flight surgeon on the USS AMERICA. With years of experience, my skills are honed to a sharp diagnostic edge and figuring out medical problems is my forte.

As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I look forward to having additional time and resources to be able to help you with your health and medical challenges, including diagnosis, treatment and referrals to specialists. I believe prevention and personalized healthcare is paramount.

What our members are saying

I have always eaten fairly healthy, but as I have learned through the years, that the statement " you are what you eat " is very true. I have been fortunate, and not had to see my Primary Care Physician , very often, mainly for yearly exams. To be honest , I'm not thrilled to pay extra to have better accessibility to my Doctor.
I guess part of the problem is, there are so…

This year marks 40 years of being a patient of Dr. Fowler. I consider him, and his staff , friends of mine, as much as my Medical Team. Dr. Fowler has always given me great medical advice, and I follow his messages on nutrition. I hope both of us, can keep this streak going for many more years!

My wife and I would never, for one second, think about using another doctor! Dr. Fowler and his staff are amazing! Whether on the phone or in person, you always know they are always smiling, and make us feel that we really are important. They are always there for us! I know they have bad days, everyone does, but they never show it! Always consistent in their treatment! My wife and I both are…

I don’t have a particular story but I do have to comment on how kind and compassionate Dr. Fowler is! No matter how large or small the problem is he always listens attentively, explains things making sure you understand, and then looks for a solution. He is a wonderful doctor and a kind, considerate person.

You know Dr Fowler cares by the way he treats and talks to you. He’s always answered my questions and has made me feel like I’m involved in all aspects of my healthcare. His team of nurses, technicians, and staff are all wonderful. They are readily available to make an appointment, get a message to the doctor, and answer questions. I highly recommend Dr Fowler.

Dr Fowler and his team have gone above and beyond for years. They've been there for me and my family several times, making perfect recommendations and identifying my medical issues quicky and accurately, getting me the right medical diagnosis and treatment and where to go for further medical aid, especially to the correct specialists as needed. These folks are awesome.

Dr Fowler, Nurse Denise, Michelle and Ashley are an outstanding caring team. The attention of the staff makes you feel like you are the only patient and a member of a small family. Dr Fowler makes sure you understand test results and will spend as much time that is required to do so. Nurse Denise is the best nurse and caregiver I have ever dealt with. She is accessible, responsive and follows through on everything! Denise makes sure you are comfortable and happy at all times! Michelle and Ashley make sure you are greeted with a smile, never have to wait, and ensure that the administration, insurance and billing are flawless! If you can’t tell this is a well run medical practice and an outstanding team!

Saw Dr. Fowler for an FAA consultation for a rare condition. This consisted of him googling for 5 minutes, which was easy to do for anyone, then said “I don’t know you can apply and see”. Still charged $150 for the 5 minute “consultation”

Waste of time for rare conditions as an AME

VA was attempting to set up an appointment for me, but the few times they called no one answered. A voicemail was left after the first call for a call back, but a call back was never received. The VA is already difficult and takes a long time to deal with. Disappointed in this as now they have to try elsewhere and the reviews for here were good.

I scheduled a first-class physically with them and they said that it's a flat rate fee for third second and first class for $125. Any other AME charges different fees for different physicals the first class would be the most expensive because it includes an EKG.
After I finished my exam and the lady said that I needed an EKG for first class and never mentioned anything about price or an additional fee so when I went to check out they said I want 250 instead of 125.

I will not be doing
Business with them again I will go do my first class next year at somebody else for cheaper than that and also someone that will tell you upfront cost before doing the test..

I used Dr Fowler twice to complete my FAA medical. Each time I received letters from the FAA for incomplete or abnormal items from the physicals. Upon discovering the first error, I called Dr Fowler's office and they told me I would have to come and pickup the paperwork that I gave them before the physical, and submit it myself to the FAA. The second error was his office forwarding an abnormal EKG to the FAA, which was caused probably by an out of place monitoring pad on my body. A remark printed on the EKG clearly stated the abnormal remark, but the office forwarded it to the FAA without any idea of the problems it would cause. I have never had any abnormal EKGs, heart, blood pressure, etc issues.

Attention to detail. My job and career depend on it. But I can't depend on Dr Fowler or his office. I don't use his services anymore.

I've been a patient of Dr. Fowler for the better part of a decade and can without hesitation say that I have always received first class treatment and care during every visit. He and his staff are always extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure that you're taken care. I would highly recomend Dr. Fowler to anyone in the market for a quality family physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
