I love Dr. Macdowell and his assistant is amazing too. They are a small office that really takes the time to get to know you. He's very thorough and listens very carefully to everything you tell him. And Tina gives the best shots and is great at lab draws.

He hands out pain pills/narcotics like they are candy to patients. He doesn't allow any family members in the room with his patients. This is a bit strange as my husband even asked if I could go back with him and he was told no. What goes on that Dr. Macdowell would be ashamed of behind those closed doors. If I were you I would stay far away from this doctor.

Best doctor for all conditions I have ever seen. He cares about his patients and spends time with them, and allows them to express what their needs are. I would highly recommend Dr. MacDowell to anyone. Especially if you suffer from Arthritis or social anxiety disorder. He is the best Doctor for me in over 12 years, since I started having some problems.

He takes time to listen and think through your medical issues. He is kind of like the old fashion doctors that took time with their patients and gets to know you.

My husband and I really like Dr. MacDowell. We feel very comfortable with him and think that he's wonderful. We wouldn't want any other doctor!

Dr. MacDowell prescribed medicine incorrectly, was angered when confronted with questions the patient had, and could have possibly caused seizures with the disage and abrupt stopping of the medicine.
