Dt. Lowry e planned that his job was to prepare me for the outside world, and as such he did not include me in decision-making; kept asking me about what he could do for me without identifying what that is, and when I asked about a letter he promised for me, he said he had written it, and it was my responsibility to contact him if I have not received it.

This was a 3 month Rehab appointment & I was new to Dr Lowry; he is super low key and very present as a listener; he also knows how to share personally appropriately. It was heartwarming that he sees me as graduating to resistence exercises via a gym snd moving beyond the inhouse PT. PHEW!! I have previously felt laughed/snickered at for some of my goals which makes me leave these loggerhead professional people to wallow in their own narcissism. We are our brothers keepers and Dr.Lowry understands this, TRULY!!
