I had an incredible experience with Dr. Bowman and his team and I am in love with the results! I was anxious starting out my treatment but I couldn't have asked for a more personal experience.The team was always more than willing to answer my questions and address any concerns I had throughout the entirety of my treatment.Thank you Dr. Bowman and the Kalamazoo Orthodontics team!

Dr. Bowman is the best. I have 2 children that have had your service. The first time my son and I arrived at his office 22 yrs ago, everyone was very nice, professional from the front desk to Dr Bowman. He explained the procedure to us and timeline of braces worn. Then 3 years ago, we experienced the second child and no change with the wonderful atmosphere of office staff and Dr Bowman actually remembered my son yrs ago. Both of children self esteem is great with beautiful smiles! Thank you Dr Bowman

Los Lobos (with Dr. Jay Bowman on keys)




Los Lobos (with Dr. Jay Bowman on keys). Simply cannot believe my good fortune to have been invited to tag along on Los Lobos tours, but even luckier that my friends invited me to play keyboards on "Alone in a Crowd" in Faenza, Italy!  Just recently unearthed, a Los Lobos fan actually found an audience video of this Los Lobos show on a Russian “fan” site.  Only Steve Berlin, David Hidalgo, and Louie Perez knew this was happening. The look of surprise on Bugs Gonzalez’ face is priceless as I'm watching him for the changes. Since Steve uses in-ear monitors, I didn’t hear a single note that I played, but it was a bucket list experience of lifetime to join my rock heroes on-stage! Thanks to Steve Secor for editing and adding some of my behind-the-scenes pictures.

In 1979, Shapiro and colleagues published a report describing the use of pulsating piezoelectricity to stimulate movement in a single subject.1 Krishtab and colleagues reported a 150-200% incre...
