About Paul Bowers, NP

Paul Bowers, NP, is a board-certified nurse practitioner with more than eight years of diverse experience in the medical field. He currently serves the community of Pocatello, Idaho, and the surrounding communities, at West Family Medicine, where he works with patients of all ages.

Paul grew up farming and ranching in southeastern Idaho. He earned his first bachelor’s degree at Idaho State University in Zoology while working at Bannock Memorial Hospital. After graduating from ISU, he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he earned a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Western States University. Paul returned to Pocatello to practice as a chiropractor where he ran a private practice for many years. 

In 2009, he decided to return to school to expand what he could offer patients. While running his chiropractic clinic, he earned his second bachelor’s degree from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texa, in Nursing. Paul then went on to earn a Master’s degree in Nursing from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2013 and was inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society. 

Not only does Paul help treat acute and chronic illnesses at West Family Medicine, but he also is a certified Medical Examiner for DOT physicals. He also specializes in trigger points and joint injections thanks in part to his chiropractic background.

When he is not seeing patients, Paul enjoys spending time with his wife and five kids. He loves camping with his boys and enjoying the outdoors. He also enjoys woodworking and gardening.
