Dr Dowdell is one of the few doctors that actually listen and cares about his patients. I am so sad he is retiring but I am happy he is starting the next phase of his life.

Dr. Dowdell is an outstanding physician. He takes the time that he needs to listen and to make good recommendations. He's very courteous and professional, and he is down to earth, easy to talk to. I think he is an excellent example for other physicians to follow when it comes to his demeanor and bedside manner. Thank you.

Dr. Dowdell is terrific! He listened to my questions and answered them. I left my appointment with a "plan" to follow in order to address my concerns. Dr. Dowdell also gave me an alternative plan in case the first one did not work for me. I really appreciate his honesty and step by step approach to diagnosing my sleep issues.

Finally I got true answers to my condition. Dr. Dowdell was well informed and explained everything while reassuring me my condition wasn't as bad as what all the others had been saying. He laid out and explained in detail all of the treatment options available even making sure I knew the pros and cons of each treatment based on my condition. He eased my mind and relieved the anxiety I had built up by just letting me know the condition isn't as bad as the standard scale shows. Best of all is what he said to me made sense. I'm very relieved that I'm not as bad as I had been told.
