I would not recommend Dr. Loewe. He told me my food sensitivities were caused "by God"and that I should go to Mayo Clinic to have them treated. He also recited the list of GI docs I'd seen in a condescending way as if to say I was untreatable or a patient that couldn't be satisfied.

My primary Dr, who I trust (and I’m mistrustful of doctors for very good reasons) wanted me to see Dr Loewe for my internist (Crohn disease) - I like this doctor. He asked questions, looked at me in the eye and only referred to “the chart” as needed. He communicated CLEARLY a protocol of action to take to help me HEAL ... where most doctors want to only mask through pills. Yes, i’ll be taking the medicine he is suggesting to take ... because he explained it! Great doctor and grateful he is on my Healing Team!

If you're looking for a Gastroenterologist, Dr. Charles Loewe is the best. He is extremely thorough and spends enough time with you to explain everything. He figured out what was wrong with me when 2 other gastro doctors could not. Highly recommend.

He might have a good reputation, and he might even be a great doctor, but he and his staff are terrible at follow-up. I went in for some tests 10 days ago and was told the results would be ready in two days. I have called three times and can only get a machine. Have left three messages. No call back. Terrible.

I am an RN for many years and, in my opinion, Dr. Loewe is the worst physician I have ever encountered. He behaved arrogantly, bragged about himself, and was of ZERO help to me as a new patient. I would caution anyone who is looking for a gastroenterologist to steer clear of Dr. Loewe! When I tried to get a different gastroenterologist, I was unable to see any MDs in Florida Digestive Health Specialists' system without going through a bureaucratic approval process because of FDHS' apparent monopoly of approximately 24 "care ... read more

I did not have to wait long an appointment. Dr. Loewe listened to my complaints and was fine with my getting another opinion from a gastroenterologist at Tampa General/USF with whom I'd met before & had already scheduled an appointment before starting with Dr. Loewe. His staff, especially Brooke, has been very responsive, kind & easy to work with. I feel well taken care of which I have not found to be the case with other gastroenterologists in Sarasota.

Dr Lowe saved my life. I consulted him for treatment of hepatitis C. To be thorough, he did an ultrasound of my liver and abdomen. He observed a mass on my left kidney and immediately referred me to a urologist. A CT scan showed a very large tumor encompassing my entire kidney. After a radical nephrectomy, it was confirmed that it was a stage 3-4 cancerous tumor. I had no symptoms and had Dr Lowe not been as thorough, the cancer would have eventually spread and taken my life. Thank you Dr Lowe.

Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The Doc was excellent at communication before and after the procedure. Next office visit was also a pleasure as he is generous with his time in order to answer all my questions. Five stars from me
