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.
