My wife and I appreciated the way Dr Dowd listened to all our concerns and answered all our questions about the up coming knee surgery. We felt very relieved after his walkthrough from start to finish of the recovery process. Very well mannered gentleman and professional, we feel we are in very good hands with him. Thanks Doc

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.
