Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been so pleased with every facet of my 3 visits. From the lovely young woman at the desk through to and including Dr. Downey it has been one of the best medical experiences I have had. Dr. Downey has a warm personality and his new office digs are state of the art as well as pleasing to the eye. And I can't forget about that absolutely delicious lemon water. And the physical therapy folk extend the same professionalism and caring concern. If I could give this practice as ore of 10+ I would but I'm stuck at 5. Dr. Downey you and your staff just keep doing what you do. I wouldn't go any where else.

Dr Downey has treated me for many years for pain management issues related to a bad surgery on my back, degenerative disc n rheumatoid arthritis. His epidurals are impeccable! Uses fluoroscopy of course. He's awesome.
