Elevator was broken but Dr Dowd came downstairs to see me because I can't do stairs.

Dr. Dowd listened to my symptoms, examined me, discussed possible diagnoses and explained the plan of care thoroughly. Would highly recommend Dr. Dowd.

Always love going to see Dr dowd, he replaced my hip and January and did an amazing job and is taking care of both of my knees. Had cortisone shots in both today, no pain at all associated with the shot!

I’m sure he’s lovely, but it’s super defeating when doctors blame everything on weight issues. Idk if I was seeking a magical cure or what, but I can hardly stand or walk for very long, and I fall over at least once per week, yet I was basically just told to lose weight lol how defeating. Idk.

Dr Dowd is an excellent surgeon. He’s very nice and takes his time during your appointment with him. He’s very thorough. I would highly recommend him to anyone with knee or hip problems.
