At Wellstar Pulmonology it is always a good experience for me. Dr.Dowdell is very well informed well before he even gets in the exam room. He has a wonderful group of receptionists and nurses. My nurse was intelligent and friendly a definite asset to the group.

I would like to commend the staff on their courtesy and the interest they show in their patients and their comfort, as well as their professionalism in performing their duties. Also, Dr. Dowdell is an outstanding provider. He gives eye contact to the patient. He's clearly listening to what you're saying, and he is providing a very understandable explanation of the treatment plan and the problem that you're having. I greatly appreciate all the medical care that was rendered. Thank you.

The medical staff and Dr. Dowdell are fabulous. Parking at this building is a problem as in not enough parking. When we arrived 15 minutes before the requested arrival time there were at least 5 cars circling around the lot waiting for someone to leave so they could park. We got lucky and got a spot out near the street. Needs to be addressed as there is not a nearby Wellstar lot to handle overflow parking and walk over, especially for a handicapped person. Hopefully you can a find a solution like having staff park nearby in a Wellstar lot. The campus is getting tight and I'm sure parking is a big issue but it doesn't sit well to be late for an appointment due to a lack of available parking.
