Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I've been going to Dr Dowling for years now, and he is amazing. Thorough, knowledgeable, up to date on treatments, meds, etc. He takes the time to explain why he's doing what he's doing for you. He is so well respected in his profession that when I go to other Dr's and they ask who my PCP is, and I mention his name every one has nothing but praise for him. This guy is amazing.

Dr. Dowling always takes the time to listen to a patient's concerns and fully answer any questions. In fact, he takes the time to go over any health issues you may have by explaining all aspects of your health in language a layman can understand. You never feel rushed during your visit. His office staff will get you an appointment the same day if you call with a health problem that requires immediate attention. I've been a patient of Dr. Dowling for over 30 years and I highly recommend him.
