Now he leads Intermountain Provo Dermatology, happy to be back close to where he grew up in Springville. As he serves his community, Dr. Lowe maintains a high standard of care, and of personalized treatment for every patient. “You do everything you can to personalize treatment,” he says. “You only have a certain amount of time with a patient, it’s very important to establish a good rapport and relationship of trust so that they know that your recommendations for them take their whole person and situation into account, and come from a good place.” Dr. Lowe’s talent is helping patients feel at ease, so they feel comfortable sharing important information about their concerns and medical history. This is essential for the best care and outcomes. He enjoys seeing patients of all ages with all forms of dermatologic disease.
