The Texas House of Representatives on May 15, 2025 passed a resolution honoring Independent Medical Alliance Senior Fellow, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden.   

“This was a great honor, and I appreciate all who have fought with me.” — Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, IMA Senior Fellow, Otolaryngology and Sleep Medicine

Thorough adversity Dr. Bowden has remained an unwavering defender of doctor-patient rights, direct primary care, and patient safety. Along with Drs. Apter and Marik, she successfully sued the FDA–and won; resulting in the take down of the infamous “Stop It” tweet from the FDA.  She has fought to make safe, affordable, generic drugs readily available over-the-counter, and was actively involved in the recent medical freedom “wins” in Arkansas and Idaho.

The Independent Medical Alliance is proud to congratulate Dr. Mary Talley Bowden on being recognized for her frontline medical service in the Lone Star state.
