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. Dowdell is one of the best doctors at UPG. I recommend her to anyone who asks.

Dr Dowdell takes all the time I need - answers questions, reviews history, discusses meds, etc. Concerned, caring - a wonderful and comfortable Dr/patient relationship of over 6 years.

It was my first time seeing Dr. Dowdell. I was very pleased with her bedside manner. She actually listens! Some doctors don't listen, and it's frustrating.
