About Me

Dr. Fowler earned her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, and completed her family medicine residency at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. Following residency, she completed a fellowship in obstetrics at Moses Cone Health System in Greensboro. Dr. Fowler brings over 20 years of family medicine experience to WakeMed.

Outside of work, Dr. Fowler enjoys spending time with her husband and children, whether it is movie night at home or an escape to western North Carolina to visit family.

01/27/2024

I cannot sing the praises of Dr. Fowler enough. She is the first primary doctor I have regularly seen since childhood, and the only primary doctor that I have ensured my insurance will cover ever. I feel comfortable with her, listened to, and trusting of her advice. I’ll be moving in the next year, and it’s going to be impossible to replace her as a primary doctor. I will forever sing the praises of dr. Fowler, and I know as soon as I leave that one of my friends will want to replace me as a patient because I speak so highly of her.

01/25/2024

Care and time given to examine MY personal needs and recommendations

11/21/2023

Dr. Fowler has been my provider for well over a 2 5 years. Every time I see her I leave feeling being heard and truely cared for. She goes above and beyond while treating me like a human being which unfortunately doesn't exist everywhere for LGBTQ. As a nurse and patient, I recommend her for any physical and mental needs, no matter how big or small... she will get you on the right path. Dr. Fowler's listening skills and intelligence for critical thinking are unmatched. I want to add that the staff at Oberlin Primary Care are just as amazing. Emily [] and Hutch are so great with communication between patient and doctor. I do not know how they do it but they do, and do it so well. They have always helped me when I needed something and go above and beyond to accommodate. Their communication via MyChart is outstanding!

Dr. Fowler's assistant went over and beyond in helping me after, when leaving, had a spasm in my foot. She went for a chair and rolled me outside. Once there, she brought me a chair to sit on while I waited for my ride I really appreciated that.

07/24/2023

Dr Fawler excused herself for being a bit late in entering the exam room. I had assumed that with her very hectic schedule that day that my time with her would be shortened. But she took the time to explain and answer any questions I had and didn’t give me the sense that she was rushing thorough in order to make up lost time. She is a gem!

I think Dr Fowler is incredible: knowledgeable, caring, professional. She makes you feel like you're her only patient when judging by how long it took me to get in for an annual physical.. I'm not! :-). I feel fortunate that I moved into the neighborhood about the same time she began practicing at WakeMed PC Oberlin so that I'm able to be one of her patients, I know she now is not accepting new patients.

05/31/2023

Dr Fowler was extremely thorough and took time to explain, ask questions etc
