Patient Reviews
Sep 05, 2018
Best Doctor Ever! I never had to wait long but on the rare occasion when Dr. Dowdy was running a little behind, I never minded because as soon as he came to my room he greeted me and gave me his undivided attention. He never made me feel like he was trying to rush me out. I was hoping to keep him for life but he's moving on to spend more time with his family. And that's what's most important in life. Time with those we love. I have never seen anyone dying wishing they'd spent more time @ work. ?
