G’day I’ve never meet dr John Dowling! I reside in Australia, but I’m of the understanding that his great grandfather is my great great uncle! I’m only finding out these details in little bits and pieces! But I believe he had a brother by the same name? John Dowling anyway I’m confident doctor John Dowling is a great doctor! Kind regards Sean Dowling

Dr. Dowling is the best. He spends time and actually listens to you! He will also take the time to call you personally when necessary (for me it was when I'd been bitten by a tick - he called to let me know he'd called in a prescription and told me I had to pick it up that day). Excellent doctor!

He is a very caring physician. I always feel secure with his diagnosis and treatment. He makes it his business to know you and treats the whole person.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Dowling. He gives you his undivided attention and wants to make sure that you're comfortable with his diagnosis. He does this by listening and calling on reference materials to make his point. You can tell that he's really a teacher at heart. If this survey had ten stars Dr. Dowling would get ten.

Dr. Dowling is never rushed, always sits down and listens intently. He is excellent at diagnosing problems and he takes the time to explain why/how this is happening.You never wait a long time in the waiting room. The longest I've ever waited is about 10 minutes. His bedside manner is wonderful and he works hard to put you at ease. You never get the feeling that there is a clock ticking. You always feel as though you are the only patient at the office.His staff are very helpful and pleasant as well.
