Patient Reviews
Apr 10, 2021
My history with Dr. Downs goes back almost two years ago when my gastroenterologist, Dr. Andrew Gottesman, referred me to him for an issue that was not in his field (Dr. Gottesman's). Right off the bat of our initial introduction, my husband and I both sensed that Dr. Marc Downs was not only highly qualified but was also sensitive to our concerns about the procedure. He handled each of the now four appointments with confidence and ease, with a sense of understanding for our concerns, and with great professionalism. His entire office/staff seemed to be on top of things with each of our visits. I have since moved out of state, but will continue to follow-up with him whenever possible. I would strongly recommend Dr. Downs to anyone--far and near!
