Verified Patient Reviews for Daniel Downs, MD
Dr. Downs was great. He explained what could and couldn’t be done regarding my lose of taste and smell at the time and kept it realistic, but not hopeless! He suggested a few things just to rule them out, which is appreciated as a “leave no stone unturned” girl myself.

The office staff was engaged and very friendly. Dr Downs seemed smart and spent time answering my questions. He was a wealth of knowledge and I’m so glad he saw my thyroid results. I didn’t expect to talk about that. It’s only been 2 weeks of taking the medication but I feel clearer with more energy. I wish he could be my primary doctor! It was a pleasure talking with him. Thank you!
Everyone from the front desk, nurses and doctor were very friendly, talked me through everything going on and answered all questions thoroughly.

I appreciated the no-nonsense approach. He listened to my issues and then got to work. After the procedure he explained what was the problem and what to do to fix it. The doctor didn't try to just throw a pill at the issue.
