At time of appointments, Dr. Downs speaks of follow-up calls from lab work, etc. that do not occur. Her nursing staff do not submit insurance paperwork in a timely manor - week delays.

Dr. Downs has been my physician for 13 years. I am now looking for a new physician as I feel like she is very quick to "generalize". She also has not been supportive in my desire to exclusively breastfeed my baby, knowing this is very important to my family. I was unnecessarily advised to stop, and now my child and I are both having difficulty. She never even took the time to be certain that it was imperative for me to stop, when after very little research on my own, I now know it was not!

Dr. Downs is the best family doctor I have had. I trust her implicitly with the care of my twins. Dr. Downs has seen my children for the past nine years and diagnosed a potential serious health risk in my daughter. It turns out that everything is okay but Dr. Downs was very thorough in the logistics we had to navigate through in order to ensure that the risk to my daughter was not significant. I only hope that Dr. Downs does not move on until my children become adults. She is warm, nurturing, knowlegable, and caring and I highly recommend her as a physician.
