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.

Not caring at all and just blatenly rude most of the time. Changes his word.

4 minute phone call (including answering service). Told me to take Robutissin for cough and call the office in the morning. Could not do that because I had COVID-19. Unforgivable and dangerous.

My wife and I have been under Dr. Downing's care for over 20 years. He is always friendly and relaxed on our visits. Appointments are always dealt with on time. He takes the time to listen to what you have to say and totally explains any treatment you may need thoroughly, and answers all of your questions. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Downing to anyone looking for a good and personable doctor.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Downing ever since he took over for our previous Primary Care physician in 1996, and I have never doubted that choice. He is always prepared for our visits be they scheduled or a same day appointment for some ailment. He does his "homework" and is always prepared to thoroughly discuss specifics about the illness for which we are there. In my experience, whenever a referral to a specialist is called for, he invariably pre-prepares me for that visit by ordering appropriate x-rays, CT scans, etc, so that the specialist has the information needed, at hand, when I show up for the consult. Dr. Downing is truly a "people" doctor, totally devoted to his patients and their well being. He has provided outstanding health care for my wife and I, and I am glad the he is the Primary Care doctor taking care of us.

Dr. Downing has been my doctor for the past 23 years and I have full confidence in him. He always listens to my questions and problems, giving me answers no matter how long it takes. If I have an urgent problem arise, he is available whether it's through an office visit or on the phone. The annual exams are extremely thorough through his association with MDVIP. He encourages me to live a healthy lifestyle.

My husband and I saw Dr Downing for 3 years. In that time he failed to diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnea, attributing my chronic sleepiness to medication I was taking. When a research study at JHU discovered my Type 2 Diabetes, his treatment was not aggressive, allowing it to progress quickly. I spent 4 days in the hospital because he failed to diagnose my asthma - admitted via ER with blood oxygen in the 80s. He said my husband’s chest flutters were muscle spasms; our next doc found heart PVCs!
