The audiologist was super kind and personable. They staff very nice.
Knew what he was talking about.
I was terrified when I went to my appointment with Dr. Downs after my primary care physician told me that there was a possibility of having cancer on one of my tonsils. Dr. Downs was very patient and explained the reason of the issue and took care of it immediately; I felt like coming back to life after listening to him. Immense feeling of happiness when I left his office. Compassion, professionalism, knowledge, excellent "bedside manners", he has everything that we, the patients need. DR. Downs is GREAT!
