Digital is a thing . Most people carry digital id cards for insurance and id can be attached to your Apple wallet. Requesting a physical copy is a hassle when you already have the providers information. Each time you guys say my insurance company name. If it was new or new patient to wellstar I could understand more but my company doesn't give us physical ID cards anymore. There digital only

Hello, I feel like people that work in the lab need to be more accountable for what they do with people's blood and where they put people's blood because it was a mishap with the blood that was taken on Monday at the facility. And we had to come back and get more blood. I'm not sure what really occurred, but I really feel like somebody should be accountable for that mishap.

Dr. Dowdell-Smith is always warm and patient. I have appreciated her care since the onset of my son's migraines and will miss her when he turns 18 in a few months.

This practice has been an amazing experience for myself and my daughter. We get in, they're efficient, we're not, there's no long waits. I haven't waited very long at all. The providers, whether it is actually Dr. Dowdell or the nurse practitioner, both of them have listened thoroughly to us and taken all the things into consideration and we feel like we're getting really good care there. I rate this practice a 10 out of 10 with providers 10 out of 10.

Incredible staff. Everyone from start to finish was kind and compassionate. They addressed my concerns and gave very detailed information for moving forward. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great pediatric neurologist.

Dr. Dowdell-Smith is very knowledgeable. She is very friendly and comfortable to talk to for both the parent and the child. She definitely cares about her patients. I have two of my children seeing her at this time and would strongly recommend her for anyone navigating any kind of neurological issue with their child.

Made my daughter feel very comfortable and calmed her nerves down. Talk to us like we were a real person and made us feel like she truly cared. Amazing visit.

Dr. Dowdell-Smith is always warm and patient. I have appreciated her care since the onset of my son's migraines and will miss her when he turns 18 in a few months.

This practice has been an amazing experience for myself and my daughter. We get in, they're efficient, we're not, there's no long waits. I haven't waited very long at all. The providers, whether it is actually Dr. Dowdell or the nurse practitioner, both of them have listened thoroughly to us and taken all the things into consideration and we feel like we're getting really good care there. I rate this practice a 10 out of 10 with providers 10 out of 10.

Hello, I feel like people that work in the lab need to be more accountable for what they do with people's blood and where they put people's blood because it was a mishap with the blood that was taken on Monday at the facility. And we had to come back and get more blood. I'm not sure what really occurred, but I really feel like somebody should be accountable for that mishap.

Digital is a thing . Most people carry digital id cards for insurance and id can be attached to your Apple wallet. Requesting a physical copy is a hassle when you already have the providers information. Each time you guys say my insurance company name. If it was new or new patient to wellstar I could understand more but my company doesn't give us physical ID cards anymore. There digital only
