Patrick M. Lowden, MD

Dr. Patrick Lowden knew he wanted to be a physician since the 8th grade. His father had a heart attack and stroke when he was young, which were the deciding factors for him. He never really wanted to be anything else. His choice of Family Medicine comes from the ability to take care of all age groups with a wide variety of ailments and also presents the opportunity for practicing “preventive” medicine and helping people stay healthy. Dr. Lowden’s particular interests are dermatology and adolescent medicine. Family life, cooking, travel and sports are Dr. Lowden’s passions when he’s not practicing medicine. Any free time he has is taken up by his 3 year old and 10 month old. Dr. Lowden’s outside activities include being the Medical Director of Grane Hospice and Woodhaven Care Center.
