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.

Save the thyroid! Option for benign nodules
Dr. Dowell saved my thyroid! When the NP at my endocrinologist told me removing the whole thyroid and being on replacement drugs for the rest of my life, I was frightened. I chose to have the nodules biopsied and found they were benign. After a little digging, with no help from my GP or endocrinologist, I found out about RFA for benign thyroid nodules. My nurse friend, Karol, talked to her Doc about options and they recommended Dr. Dowell. Thyroid nodule RFA is relatively new in the US. The nodules can shrink up to a year after the procedure. At 7 months after, the large nodule is 50% of what it once was. Thank you Dr. Dowell, Jennifer and the rest of the staff. Highly recommend those with benign nodules seeking treatment from him!

Compassionate communicator
I was out of town when I fell ill and diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on my liver. Upon my return to Indpls Dr Dowell performed a biopsy and found I had a primary liver cancer. A team was assembled and Dr Dowell performed an embolization prior to my surgery. His follow up and coordination with my surgeon and oncologist ensured a prompt surgery and care plan. Very grateful to have been able to have Dr Dowell on my team

Compassionate Physician
Seeing me after a positive procedure, Dr. Dowell was very compassionate in listening to my concerns and praises. He took the time to reassure me that the treatment of my present condition was going in a positive direction. He took the time to hear ME. Then, took the time to reassure ME. ME, the patient. Dr. Dowell also makes the post op phone call to his patience to find out how they are doing.
