- "Excellent care. always takes time to answer my questions."
Feb 25, 2021 - "Excellent Doctor."
Feb 24, 2021 - "There isn't a better doctor than Dr. Lower. She is caring, competent, positive, and communicates so well. I'm so lucky to have her as my oncologist. When it comes to her being on time, cancer can't always b scheduled. As patients, we understand. One patient may need more time than others. I hope UC appreciates her, recognizes her for her expertise, and the many attributes she brings to her patients."
Feb 23, 2021 - "I have complete faith in Dr. Lower. I feel very fortunate to have had her expertise and care all these years."
Feb 23, 2021 - "Dr. Lower is fabulous"
Feb 16, 2021 - "Every six months I visit Dr. Lower for a check-up regarding my bout with breast cancer, and fortunately every-thing is fine. I love visiting with her....very professional, caring, and knowledgeable. She is always upbeat and concerned about her patient's welfare, and any issues we may have. I am very fortunate to have her as my physician and very happy to recommend her to any of my friends!"

Feb 4, 2021 - "I was referred to Dr. Elyse Lower after a different healthcare provider initially missed my breast cancer diagnosis. I pose the question to a Pfizer executive who resides in Missouri, who works in breast cancer research. Unequivocally he said you must go to Dr. Lower and the Barrett Center for your second opinion. A breast cancer diagnosis is not the death sentence once thought to be, but it was a tremendous blow to my life for many reasons. During my initial diagnosis and treatment of my former healthcare provider and the associated ancillary practices, I was never at ease. In truth, I was fearful and felt as if my doctor treated me and my health plan as if I was not in the room. From my initial visit to Barrett and this past year almost to the day, I have had not just excellent healthcare; the culture of care surrounding patient care is evident with each person you meet."

Jan 30, 2021 - "Dr Lower always takes care in her examinations and spends time learning about what is going on that could effect how you feel. wanted to know how I was dealing with COVID. if we were following the rules and how we were handling the isolation. she treats you like a human being and not just a "patient". Discusses lab results, answers questions and checks to make sure all my periodic diagnostic tests are done in a timely manner. She is the best!!"

She is extremely busy but treats her patients as if she has all the time in the world to talk with the patient with whom she is dealing. at that moment. I feel so very fortunate to have had her as my oncologist."
Dec 28, 2020 - "I know wait times are often long, but having done this for over a decade I understand that is because of the time Dr. Lower will give to those patients that are possibly going through the worst time in their life and need the extra time with her. I think all her patients understand this, and we know that it is likely we will all need that extra time with her at some point. Dr. Lower is an amazing doctor and an amazing person, and hopefully UC doesn't push time restrictions on visits because you would be doing a great disservice to Dr. Lower's patients and the wonderful care she provides us."
Dec 24, 2020
