Lori McIntosh

Lori McIntosh "As both Debbie and Dr. Lowy put it, 'Cancers of the appendix are rare, but not here at UC San Diego.' I walked away from my consultation knowing that I was in good hands and that I was in the right place at the right time."

Jacqueline Luders

Jacqueline Luders "Thanks to the time, dedication and skill of Dr. Lowy and his team, I am healthy and gave birth to my little miracle Everley René on September 25, 2013. Had I believed the first surgeon I consulted with, we would not be blessed with this beautiful bundle of joy."
