We went for Throat checkup and to get results and even to know next steps we need to call 10-12 times and to know our Radiology results, we need to wait for 8 weeks. It’s a worst experience with doctor and the facility.

Once again, Dr. Downie fixed me up, and his medical assistant went over the top to help me get a replacement prescription while traveling. Thank you.

After having 3 previous sinus surgeries that didnt go well, I had surgery with Dr. Downie and couldnt be happier. I havent had any sinus issues for nearly a year now and am very grateful to Dr. Downie for his patience and expertise and the way he explains things in ways that I can understand. Never felt rushed. Thank you Dr. Downie!

I first went to Dr. Downie with what I thought was just another sinus infection, as I tend to get them two-three times a year, usually viral. I finally had decided it was time for an ENT and not just the urgent care. As time progressed under his care, antibiotics and steroids were not helping, a CT scan showed a deviated septum and how horribly my right side sinuses were doing. I had surgery in late July. After surgery, he told my husband that I had over two years of mucus built up and that no amount medicine or time would have cleared it. We had definitely made the right decision. Surgery went great as did my after care and recovery. I am one month post surgery now, and feel pretty great. I have days where I feel a little cruddy, but it is to be expected for a while after surgery as the sinuses need to "restart." I would recommend anyone to Dr. Downie.
