Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Dowden is patient and kind. He is very thorough and answers all questions so that you can understand the issues.

I am very happy I switched doctors to Dr Dowden. I feel like he actually cares about his patients and wants to see them do better. During my first visit with him, he said that he would like to work on getting me off cigarettes. I have not had a doctor that cared enough to straight up tell me that we will work on that. He also takes his time and is very thorough with his patients. I think this is going to be a positive experience. His nurse is also the best.

I started visiting Dr Dowden recently. Dr Dowden and his nurses show concern for their patients and take their time in the exam room. I love his patient portal that they have online, as it is 2016, I can tell they are keeping up with the times and going electronic.
