Patient Reviews
Sep 13, 2024
I was referred to Dr. McDowell and I am so glad I was. From the very start my experience was pleasant, my consultation was not rushed and i was able to ask all of the questions i had regarding my procedure. The day of the surgery he was extremely kind, while i was a ball of nerves. He talked through the things i was anxious about and even had me laughing before heading back for surgery. Dr. McDowell is one of the most compassionate doctors and you can tell he absolutely loves his job and his patients.
