I am a polio survivor. I was diagnosed with post polio syndrome in the mid 90’s.
Polio has made treatment complex. I visited Dr. Dowd with extreme pain in my left knee that was affecting my mobility and I was afraid. I have feared losing the ability to walk. Dr. Dowd viewed and discussed the xrays with me. He was very patient and kind. He took the time to listen, carefully examine and explain, things and recommend treatment. He treated my knee with aspiration and medication injection and for the first time in about 4 months I am free of agonizing pain. I had to learn to walk again after polio and I fear losing the ability to walk. I saw Dr. Dowd once before this visit and without a doubt, Dr. Dowd has made it possible for me to keep mobility.
I deeply appreciate, not only his expertise but his patience and understanding. I have complete trust in Dr. Dowd.

He’s to the point, confirms his beliefs about your issue whether you’re wrong or right, spends the time you need to explain your issues, very professional and respectful, results from his surgeries are excellent, honest & thorough!

He was rushed and not empathetic. Never even put hands on the area I was being seen for, yet charted otherwise. Didn’t ask how was managing my situation, yet documented that I said I was taking an over the counter med(I’m allergic to it, so would never take it)

Did not listen to my concerns, or explain why he wasn't willing to have a complete conversation about my injury and symptoms. Dismissed me without full conversation or the opportunity to ask about non-surhical options.
Would not recommend.
