Bowers made her television debut in the dramatic role of “Ch-chch-ch–changes,” (2004), a season five episode on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. This episode focused on transgender issues. The episode also featured her as a production consultant.
She appeared briefly in the 2005 docuseries TransGeneration, produced by World of Wonder; soon after, World of Wonder turned their attention to Bowers herself and her practice, in their 2007 documentary series Sex Change Hospital—a six-episode series that follows 12 patients before, during, and after surgery. Sex Change Hospital premiered on More4, and was rebroadcast on E4 in the UK and WE tv in the US. She and her practice were also the focus of Trinidad (2009), an independent documentary directed by PJ Raval and Jay Hodges. The filmmakers examine the success of Dr. Bowers’ practice, and the transgender people who travel to the town of Trinidad, Colorado for sex reassignment surgery. The film premiered in the US on the Showtime channel.
She has spoken about her practice and other transgender topics in numerous documentaries, interviews, news reports, and articles. Media appearances have included The Oprah Winfrey Show (2007), The Tyra Banks Show (5 episodes), The Today Show, and CBS Sunday Morning feature. She is also the featured surgeon in a six-part BBC Channel 4/World of Wonder production, “Sex Change Hospital” in 2006-2007. In May 2020, The Times featured Bowers on their Science Power List.
Bowers is a surgeon at Mills-Peninsula Hospital, Burlingame, California, and San Mateo Surgery Center, San Mateo, California. She was a practicing physician in Trinidad, Colorado from 2003 to 2010.

Biber performed over 2300 MTF genital transfer surgeries and 1000 FTM surgeries, earning Trinidad the title of “Sex Change Capital of the World”. Biber died January 2006.
