The provider was very thorough and informative and made me feel confident and comfortable in the care she provided.

So everything went wonderful other than the fact that I really hate having to fill out paperwork, yet I'm telling a nurse all the same stuff that's on the paperwork and then the doctor comes in and asks me to say all the same stuff that's on the paperwork and while I'm telling them, they're putting it in the system but I'm having to fill out paperwork. I think that's a little bit redundant. I don't mind verbally telling and maybe that could be an option, maybe someone prefers to write versus verbally going over it. But with having a little one and doing stuff like this, it would be helpful if I could just verbally tell them and I don't have to come early to just fill out paperwork that truly, honestly does not feel needed since it's all getting put into the computer as I'm talking to the nurse or doctor.

Amazing doctor! It is rare to find doctors who really understand how to work with my autistic daughter. She gets it and she is amazing.

Hi, I am super impressed with the care we received. From the moment we walked into the office, I absolutely appreciated the doctor's knowledge as well as her very warm personality, which is especially helpful when you are working with kids. So my daughter felt at ease, I felt at ease. It was a really great experience, so thank you very much.

The doctor was very kind, listened and gave adequate information. She was attentive and treated our baby with compassion and understanding. However, the woman who brought us to the room, who I'm assuming is a nurse, was not very pleasant. She was short with communication, was not very welcoming and did not appear very understanding. For example, when trying to weigh my son, he did not want to step on the scale. After several attempts, she simply stated "let's just go in the room." As I would have preferred her to say something along the lines of being more understanding and less agitated and/or inconvenienced. "That's okay, we can try again later." "Do you by chance know his weight and height? I can get that information from you." Being in a hospital can create nervous people, especially pertaining to their children. I expected more from a medical professional who works within the spaces of children, let alone potentially sick children.

The doctor was incredible. I completely trust her. Front desk clerk questioned my guardianship paperwork ( filed with Wellstar) with my grandson standing there. I was asked why I was still a temporary guardian of the child. Full guardianship is not granted unless both parents are deceased. I called the probate court when we left because her questions made me uncomfortable. She told me that to see a specialist that I needed full guardianship. This absolutely not the case. While under my care, he has been seen in an ER, has had trigger finger surgery ( specialist ) and his brother had a tonsillectomy ( specialist ). Another staff member came in, told her it was fine and to just print the paperwork on file. Once in our waiting room, the staff member who came in prior to the doctor, seemed to be in a hurry, seemed bitter, and honestly does not seem suited for that type of position. This place is for children with neurological disorders. Come on. There are plenty of people to fill these type positions with a gentler manner.

Overall the visit with the doctor was great. She listened to my concerns. The only thing I think would greatly benefit was having a lab for kids. We were told that my child needed labs and the doctor told us to go to the lab located in the building. We waited for about 30 minutes and were told she needed to go to CHOA.

I really appreciate that she was on time for her appointment. We did not have to wait a long time. But mostly what I'm appreciative of is that she listened to my concerns, provided feedback that didn't go straight to worst case scenarios or medication, and that she gave an ear to our concerns and helped us come up with some solutions and work through the issues. I very much appreciated her education regarding his health and his needs and what we can do to prevent or limit migraines in the future. I'm very thankful that she listened to us.

Dr. Dowdell-Smith was one of the best physicians I've ever encountered. She engaged my 5 year old son (who is typically an exceptionally difficult patient) in an incredible way. She answered all of our questions, explained everything simply and thoroughly, and was accessible and knowledgeable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat, and I feel confident knowing my son is in her care.

The provider and her assistant were great. The process and people you have to speak with on the phone are kind off putting but we got an appointment so that's all I can ask for.

Though the front desk staff and doctor herself were amazing, the nurse was a bit gruff. Maybe she was having a bad day but her bedside manner needs work. She was a bit off-putting.

They always get me in and out quickly, which is what I like. The provider will spend as much time with me as needed, tho. That's what I like.

I really appreciate that she was on time for her appointment. We did not have to wait a long time. But mostly what I'm appreciative of is that she listened to my concerns, provided feedback that didn't go straight to worst case scenarios or medication, and that she gave an ear to our concerns and helped us come up with some solutions and work through the issues. I very much appreciated her education regarding his health and his needs and what we can do to prevent or limit migraines in the future. I'm very thankful that she listened to us.

Overall the visit with the doctor was great. She listened to my concerns. The only thing I think would greatly benefit was having a lab for kids. We were told that my child needed labs and the doctor told us to go to the lab located in the building. We waited for about 30 minutes and were told she needed to go to CHOA.

The doctor was incredible. I completely trust her. Front desk clerk questioned my guardianship paperwork ( filed with Wellstar) with my grandson standing there. I was asked why I was still a temporary guardian of the child. Full guardianship is not granted unless both parents are deceased. I called the probate court when we left because her questions made me uncomfortable. She told me that to see a specialist that I needed full guardianship. This absolutely not the case. While under my care, he has been seen in an ER, has had trigger finger surgery ( specialist ) and his brother had a tonsillectomy ( specialist ). Another staff member came in, told her it was fine and to just print the paperwork on file. Once in our waiting room, the staff member who came in prior to the doctor, seemed to be in a hurry, seemed bitter, and honestly does not seem suited for that type of position. This place is for children with neurological disorders. Come on. There are plenty of people to fill these type positions with a gentler manner.

The doctor was very thorough. She answered all of my questions. She was extremely interested in what was going on with my child and she made me feel very confident that she is going to help us with the proper diagnosis and get him the treatment that he needs.

The doctor is INCREDIBLE! She truly makes the child feel heard and that their voice is important. And then balances it with the parent. She is awesome!!

The doctor was very kind, listened and gave adequate information. She was attentive and treated our baby with compassion and understanding. However, the woman who brought us to the room, who I'm assuming is a nurse, was not very pleasant. She was short with communication, was not very welcoming and did not appear very understanding. For example, when trying to weigh my son, he did not want to step on the scale. After several attempts, she simply stated "let's just go in the room." As I would have preferred her to say something along the lines of being more understanding and less agitated and/or inconvenienced. "That's okay, we can try again later." "Do you by chance know his weight and height? I can get that information from you." Being in a hospital can create nervous people, especially pertaining to their children. I expected more from a medical professional who works within the spaces of children, let alone potentially sick children.

Hi, I am super impressed with the care we received. From the moment we walked into the office, I absolutely appreciated the doctor's knowledge as well as her very warm personality, which is especially helpful when you are working with kids. So my daughter felt at ease, I felt at ease. It was a really great experience, so thank you very much.

Amazing doctor! It is rare to find doctors who really understand how to work with my autistic daughter. She gets it and she is amazing.

So everything went wonderful other than the fact that I really hate having to fill out paperwork, yet I'm telling a nurse all the same stuff that's on the paperwork and then the doctor comes in and asks me to say all the same stuff that's on the paperwork and while I'm telling them, they're putting it in the system but I'm having to fill out paperwork. I think that's a little bit redundant. I don't mind verbally telling and maybe that could be an option, maybe someone prefers to write versus verbally going over it. But with having a little one and doing stuff like this, it would be helpful if I could just verbally tell them and I don't have to come early to just fill out paperwork that truly, honestly does not feel needed since it's all getting put into the computer as I'm talking to the nurse or doctor.
