Background

Dr. Lowe received his MD and graduated cum laude from Georgetown University School of Medicine. He served as administrative chief resident during the final year of his general surgery residency at the Emory Department of Surgery. He joined the Emory faculty after completing a fellowship in complex general surgical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Lowe received several awards during his training years, including the Young Investigator Award of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons in 2011 and 2012.

In 2018, Dr. Lowe received the Society of Surgical Oncology's (SSO) Young Investigator Award for his study, "Evaluation of FcyRIIB as a Novel T cell Inhibitor in Cutaneous Melanoma." The study is investigating new pathways to enhance the immune system's response to melanoma, and is focusing on defining the role of the Fc receptor FcyRIIB in promoting exhaustion in T cell responses to tumor growth. The work will examine the benefits of blocking FcyRIIB's ability to alter T cell responses.

His clinical practice and research interests focus on cutaneous malignancies, particularly melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma. Watch Dr. Lowe discuss aspects of treating melanoma in these educational videos produced by the Winship Cancer Institute: treating a recurrence of melanoma, using surgery to treat melanoma, and the role of the sentinel lymph node in melanoma.

One star One star One star One star One star	05/09/2024	Doctor was very knowledgeable-kind- I am confident in his ability to effectively help me cure this cancer
One star One star Empty star Empty star Empty star	05/03/2024	Dr Lowe had not thoroughly explained my condition during the post-op visit a month before nor did he tell me what I might expect during the month until the next check. As a result I had to contact him and his assistant to address immediate concerns (MyChart was useless for this) via email about it and it was still more than 24 hours before I heard back from his assistant.When I tried to discuss this with him and the concern this caused he brushed it off saying that what he saw during my first post-op visit isn't uncommon and that many patients would be overwhelmed and worry needlessly if he was more detailed explanation. We discussed this at length. At no point did he apologize for the distress his actions caused me. I insisted that going forward he give me more details and better explanations for what of what/why I could experience going forward because in situations like mine I probably know what issues might arise let alone questions I might have. He finally acknowledged my concerns and said he would provide more information going forward. He struck me as a bit condescending about all this. I'll be attuned to how he responds at my next visit in a month.
One star One star One star One star One star	04/26/2024	Dr Lowe was clear, concise, and to the point. I felt he was genuinely concerned about my care

One star One star One star One star One star	04/19/2024	The provider was Dr Margi McKellan. She was very knowledgeable about my history and extremely helpful discussing, explaining and guiding me on short-term and long-term plans. The time she spent with me was remarkable. In the half a year that I have been a patient of Dr. Lowe's I have come to expect personal attention, but this visit was truly outstanding in that regard.

One star One star One star One star One half star	04/03/2024	I had some concerns arise after hours during the week prior to the appointment and feel fortunate Dr Lowe was on call and provide instructions and reassurance. He immediately asked if his advice had helped, which it had. Then he proceeded with the exam and discussion of the pathology report, which showed all of the tumor dad been removed and my lymph node was clear.
One star One star One star One star One star	03/27/2024	Dr Lowe Is very thorough and clear in his guidance and involving me in his strategy.
One star One star One star One star One star	03/27/2024	Dr. Lowe is amazing. It's unfortunate that I only get to see him every six months going forward, or when something is wrong.
One star One star One star One star One star	03/15/2024	Dr. Lowe is one of the best doctors I've ever met. Explains everything In a calming and easily understood manner and writes it down as well. Takes all the time needed and does not leave until all questions have been answered. He would often say, "what else do you have for me?", to me and my husband. We appreciated that so much. He answered all questions with ease.

One star One star One star One star One half star	06/08/2022	He seemed surprised I was still wearing 30/40 compression on my leg, when he was the one who ordered it. Now 2 yrs have passed and he recommended stepping back to 20/30,which Is a big difference. Not such a struggle and certainly less $$. They can now be purchased over the counter and not custom made which made it necessary to see another garment specialist. I'm delighted, but didn't realize it was even possible once you have lymphedema.
