Everyone was very professional, caring and helpful.

April 27, 2025

Hi, the provider actually provided a lot of thorough information and then because my son is a teen, was able to connect and relay how important what he needed to do and then even about the upcoming tests and procedures. So this was one of the best doctor's appointments I've ever been in because she was able to connect with the parent, me, and then connect with my son and allow him to see it from a medical standpoint but also like in real life. Like these things are important. So I really appreciated her bringing in her medical experience as well as her experience just with patients and parenting and with a teen. And so this was, it was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. And I appreciate it because my son has been to different specialists and this is a piece of the puzzle that she is willing to continue to work to see what's going on.

April 3, 2025

Yes, I just wanted to say about the position my daughter saw was very pleasant. She listened to my concerns and listened to any input I had, and that is definitely the type of position that I was looking for for my daughter. My daughter was very comfortable and so was I. I highly, highly recommend her, and I look forward to her being my child's healthcare provider. Thank you. Bye-bye.

I did want to leave some very positive feedback about the crew at this visit. I was extremely pleased in how they handled a very tough situation regarding a custody situation going on in my life and my son's life. So I'm immensely pleased in how that was handled delicately and professionally, and I felt very comfortable and taken care of. And I absolutely wanted to let my review reflect that. I'm immensely pleased. Thank you for everything that you did for me on the day of.

Dr. Dowdell-Smith is incredible. She has such great energy which is so disarming and calming during very scary times. She talks directly to my son about what is happening to him rather than talking about him in front of him. We are in a new season of normal and it is really amazing to not feel alone.

March 6, 2025

Dr. Dowdell Smith is always a pleasure to see, she provides valuable input and is willing to answer all questions regarding care. She along with her staff are pleasant and welcoming upon entering the facility.

I truly appreciate how Dr. Dowdell-Smith took the time to listen to all of my concerns and treated me with empathy and understanding as a concerned mother. She carefully explained all possible scenarios, demonstrating both her thoroughness and her commitment to ensuring I fully understood the situation. I was especially grateful for the level of detail she provided during the exam and her dedication to getting us the answers we needed. Her sensitivity to the delicacy of our situation did not go unnoticed, and it made a world of difference to me.

We are so grateful for our recent visit. Everyone made us comfortable and at ease. The front desk warmly welcomed us! The MA was kind, and the doctor was fabulous! She answered all of our questions, educated us on next steps, and cared for our son with compassion. Though we hate to find ourselves needing a pediatric neurologist, we are beyond grateful we have found such a great one! Thank you! We can't say it enough!

Dr. Cicely is the best doctor we've seen in, I think, since my child was an infant. Very, very good. I wish she could be my daughter's primary care physician. She was excellent and we feel she's very confident. We feel heard. We feel helped. My daughter loved her too, so we can't say enough about her. So pleased that we came.

We absolutely love love love Dr. Dowdell-Smith and her staff. They are always very friendly and Doc!! Omg we love her to pieces. We live over an hour away and it doesn't even matter because she is worth the drive. I like her because she listens and always has a game plan but most of all the patient loves her. We get excited when we have a doctor's appointment coming up. I would definitely recommend this clinic to any patients with pediatric neurology needs.

I truly appreciate how Dr. Dowdell-Smith took the time to listen to all of my concerns and treated me with empathy and understanding as a concerned mother. She carefully explained all possible scenarios, demonstrating both her thoroughness and her commitment to ensuring I fully understood the situation. I was especially grateful for the level of detail she provided during the exam and her dedication to getting us the answers we needed. Her sensitivity to the delicacy of our situation did not go unnoticed, and it made a world of difference to me.

Dr. Dowdell-Smith is incredible. She has such great energy which is so disarming and calming during very scary times. She talks directly to my son about what is happening to him rather than talking about him in front of him. We are in a new season of normal and it is really amazing to not feel alone.

I did want to leave some very positive feedback about the crew at this visit. I was extremely pleased in how they handled a very tough situation regarding a custody situation going on in my life and my son's life. So I'm immensely pleased in how that was handled delicately and professionally, and I felt very comfortable and taken care of. And I absolutely wanted to let my review reflect that. I'm immensely pleased. Thank you for everything that you did for me on the day of.

Yes, I just wanted to say about the position my daughter saw was very pleasant. She listened to my concerns and listened to any input I had, and that is definitely the type of position that I was looking for for my daughter. My daughter was very comfortable and so was I. I highly, highly recommend her, and I look forward to her being my child's healthcare provider. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Hi, the provider actually provided a lot of thorough information and then because my son is a teen, was able to connect and relay how important what he needed to do and then even about the upcoming tests and procedures. So this was one of the best doctor's appointments I've ever been in because she was able to connect with the parent, me, and then connect with my son and allow him to see it from a medical standpoint but also like in real life. Like these things are important. So I really appreciated her bringing in her medical experience as well as her experience just with patients and parenting and with a teen. And so this was, it was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. And I appreciate it because my son has been to different specialists and this is a piece of the puzzle that she is willing to continue to work to see what's going on.
