"I had my 8 year old done and it was absolutely beneficial. Zero regrets. I will always advocate for the older dogs benefitting from this surgery. The worst thing I ever did was listen to vets telling me he's too old. The BEST thing I ever did was contact Dr Ema Bowman".

"I just wanted to say a big, big, thank you to Melbourne Bulldog Clinic for educating us on the issues these poor little dogs have, for validating our concerns and for directing us to Dr Ema Bowman. Little Bentley, is 3 days post op and is already sounding so much better after having all his excess bits and pieces removed! No more snorting, flapping and mouth breathing. He seems so relaxed and has been getting a proper night's sleep for the first time. He now gets to live a much more comfortable life."

"Milo had BOAS surgery by Dr Ema Bowman in Brisbane a week and a half ago and she was amazing for anyone wanting an exceptional 5/5 vet in Bne! Milo had a couple of minor things happen in recovery over the first couple of nights and Ema supported me through them beautifully. I found her so caring, passionate and knowledgeable and overall Milo has had a dream recovery. I honestly didn’t realise how noisy his breathing was until now when he wakes up in the middle of the night, runs back in our room waiting to get back into bed and I can’t find him in the dark because there is silence ..... I used to find him by his noisy breathing!"

"We had our girl done by Ema Bowman at Great Western Animal Hospital 2 weeks ago. I sat with her in recovery and she came home with us that afternoon and we went back for a check-up the next day. Couldn’t be happier with the support we received and cannot believe what a different dog she is now"

"Hi Dr Ema I was just sitting watching my girls and wanted to let you know how thankful I am. The love and care that you all put into my 3 has shown in how they have recovered so well. We are still taking it easy but everyday they are more themselves."

"Another recommendation for Ema Bowman at Vetkind Arana Hills. She did both of our pugs in June and they recovered so well. She explains the procedure in detail & shows photos. We were very confident leaving both our dogs in her hands"

"I just want to say a huge thanks to you Dr Ema and your team for being so amazing with my little menace. I know he can be a handful and I do get quite embarrassed by his behaviour but you guys handled him so well and didn’t make me feel judged at all! You especially made me feel at ease when I entrusted him into your care. We were all very impressed with the amazing professionalism and understanding pre, during and post op and when it came to my million and one anxious phone calls with endless questions! Again, I apologise for his behaviour, but know thanks to you all - he will live his best life yet (hopefully with less attitude after seeing a pet behaviourist lol). You guys gave him the best possible chance at life and I couldn’t be more grateful. He is a very much loved member of our family. I can’t thank you enough Dr Ema and Team Arana Hills Vets!"

"Thank you so much for your care of Lennon during his BOAS surgery with Ema - your practice is so calm, welcoming and obviously knowledgeable. It made the day a lot less stressful than I had imagined, and he is doing really well."

"Hi Dr Ema, I just wanted to update you and let you know that Hugo is doing much better. He started to come good yesterday and is recovering like a champ. They both had a bit of regurgitation today after breakfast but other than that they are both doing so well. I also wanted to thank you again for all your support before the operation and afterwards. The level of care and thoughtfulness was beyond, and you have managed to make a stressful situation less than with your planning, transparency and your genuine love for not only what you do but your patients and their humans parents. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lynsey"

Training
“For any GP keen to expand their knowledge, skill set and confidence in treating brachy’s and their airways, Dr Ema Bowman is an amazing resource and mentor. Her passion and experience in all things brachy, but particularly BOAS surgery is infectious, inspiring and valuable. She has a way of explaining and teaching that makes complex things seem manageable and certainly makes BOAS surgery achievable in the general practice setting.
Her friendly, warm manner and great generosity in sharing her smarts adds further to the experience.
I could not recommend her more highly as someone to learn more about BOAS from. She has directly facilitated us being able to gain the skills and develop the protocols to start offering full BOAS surgery at our GP clinic.”
