Patient Reviews
Aug 27, 2024
He was the only one in the western Kentucky area who would listen to what I was saying. Western Baptist would not listen to what I was saying (they said I was drug hunting). In the end, Dr. Dowdy had to remove several feet of my intestines from a car wreck and save my life. Always checked up on me and listened to my concerns. I was in the hospital for about two months due to injuries from that wreck, and he was the only one that fixed me.
