Dr. Angela Elizabeth Downes, MD

I had suffered for years with recurring back issues and had already undergone one failed surgery elsewhere. Dr. Downes approached my case with fresh eyes, reviewing my entire spine before suggesting a revision surgery. Her thoughtful explanation of the risks and benefits gave me complete confidence. The procedure was a success, my pain has dramatically decreased, and my quality of life has improved more than I imagined. Her follow-up care and accessibility made recovery smooth and reassuring.

Dr. Downes performed a fusion surgery from thoracic to pelvis on me — a huge, complex procedure. She walked me through the process in detail and made sure I felt supported. Even the hospital staff said she’s one of the best in the field. My posture, mobility, and confidence are all improving daily. I’m deeply grateful for her care and dedication.

After being misdiagnosed elsewhere, Dr. Downes found a compression between L3/4 and L4/5 that was causing my leg numbness and back spasms. She performed a minimally invasive procedure, and the recovery time was much faster than I expected. It’s been three months, and I’m already back to work without pain. Her skill and empathy are unmatched.

Her team is responsive and compassionate, answering every post-surgery question almost immediately.

Dr. Downes combined careful evaluation with advanced spine techniques, ensuring my complex fusion surgery healed faster than I hoped.
