So he gets an extra point for social skills and expertise. If you have atherosclerosis or some other common heart condition, he may well save your life, at least in the short run, and have great success even over the long term. He may also have saved my partner's life when his heart was seriously fibrillating, though I think an earlier doctor at the hospital really gets the credit as being the one on duty first. If you want to try out alternative medicine, he is not your man (though he seems to have nothing against taking extra CoQ10, magnesium and d-ribose if you think of it yourself). Also, he does not seek out root causes that may be outside the field of cardiology, such as possible causes for lone atrial fibrillation (which according to my unprofessional research of publications could be due to B1 deficiency - in the US most likely caused by alcoholism, or Lyme disease, thyroid or other glandular problems, diabetes, or something else.) I give our case as an example. Lone atrial fibrillation is our issue. It may not be yours. Expect prescription heart-related drugs. Do your own homework about side effects. He did not seem helpful when we raised concerns about long-term side effects. When we talked about warfarin a couple of years ago, he did not discuss the pros and cons of warfarin versus other anti-coagulants, but just tried to scare the patient into continuing warfarin. I feel this is negligent. There are alternatives, including at least two other prescription drugs. Perhaps insurance won't pay for them, but that is no reason to withhold information about them. (Insurance or economic conditions for the patient may change, after all. Warfarin is a Vitamin K2 antagonist and as such can cause osteoporosis, by the way. Other heart medicine may also cause osteoporosis. Dr. Bowden is not concerned. I am. It would make logical sense to monitor bone density over time. Nobody is doing that.) Regarding atrial fib, his only explanation was that in this case it was probably caused by a virus, and if you went looking for it, it would be gone by now. In my humble opinion, settling too quickly on that as an explanation fails to rule out other causes, thereby potentially missing something very important. (Though to be fair, a prior blood test did not suggest thyroid problems, so we can probably rule that one out.) He is assuming the cause is now gone, and only the atrial fibrillation remains. I am not so sure the initial cause is gone. I know the patient. He has other problems that have not been addressed (including possible Lyme disease - given the number of tick bites he has had, sometimes while sleeping, so the ticks were on him for hours, not minutes) and if they are not the cause of the atrial fib, they most likely contribute to his overall ill health, including adversely affecting the atrial fib. Unfortunately, the patient cannot afford to pay for any tests that his conventional docs do not think to do. All in all, if I had to have a cardiologist in an emergency, I would not be worried if Dr. Bowden was assigned to me at the hospital. For long-term care, though, I would look beyond Dr. Bowden. His may be focusing too narrowly within his specialty.

I've lived in Healdsburg for 18+ years and switched to Dr. Albeg after my primary physician…read moreretired. At the time, I was traveling a lot for work and I had one occasion when I was experiencing extreme pain coming off of a trip. I tried to sched an appointment but was offered the nurse as the Dr. was too busy. She did the general poke and prod and then said she'd report to the Doc and get back to me. Did I mention extreme pain? No response and later that evening, I had to take myself to the ER where they diagnosed a kidney stone. I had a few general annual check-up sessions and it always seemed like he was racing to finish as quickly as possible to maximize turn-over. The nurse does the general stuff, then he flashes in with a big grin, asks general questions, gives generic advice, and then he's gone in 5 minutes flat. My final visit was just before Covid lockdowns. I had lost a lot of weight (on purpose - 35+ pounds) and he didn't comment on why that was or offer a pat on the head saying that was good/bad...same hurry up offense like nothing had changed. When my bloodwork came back with cholesterol levels a bit out of whack due to my intermittent fasting/clean keto regimen (the root cause of the weight loss) he emailed me and told me to just eat more fish. I was frankly shocked at his complete lack of professional curiosity and obvious apathy. Probably late for a tee time and couldn't be bothered. Dr. Albeg is all that is wrong with the medical system. He's lazy, uncaring, and will keep phoning it in until he gets fired or enough bad reviews that he has to move.

Erratic heartrate and blood pressure spikes hitting suddenly and lasting for days on end. Not something I'd ever dealt with before until after I had covid. They had sent me to the ER. When I saw him he was dismissive of my concerns and didn't even bother to arrange basic tests that my cardiologist said should have been done right away. When I called to inform him of the third time I ended up in the ER, where they had done tests and discovered some issues, he was rude, even more dismissive and told me there was nothing wrong with me, I was just having an anxiety attack. Since then he has been proven wrong. He is lazy and clearly not up to date on current health events considering many people have experienced heart issues after covid. Find someone else. I've since found a doctor that actually listens instead of making assumptions and is helping me find my path back to wellness.
