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.

Definitely recommend Dr. Dowling
I have been a patient here since I was 3 weeks old. Dr.Suttle and Nurse Judy took so much good care of me. When there was a swap I was so nervous, but his staff fit right in. He listens to me very well. Id there is a area in question he shows me. Nicest doctor you will ever meet.

Terrible Waste of time
My 92 year old mother went to Dr. Dowling. She told him we are pretty sure she has BPPV and needed for him to perform the Epley maneuver. His solutions was to: 1. Give her a hearing test and tell that she was correct, she IS deaf in her left ear (We have known that for the last 10+ years!) 2. Give a woman with macular degeneration who is legally blind papers with exercises to do the Epley Maneuver on herself because he does not do it. This visit was a complete waste of time. He should be ashamed to call himself a doctor.

I had a 2:40 pm appt and I am still waiting at 3:50 pm to see the doctor. Staff did not provide status - at 3:30 I finally asked when I would be seen. I was told 2 people were ahead of me. This is ridiculous for any office to be that far behind. Worse, the office staff is very unresponsive with no sense of urgency. Do not waste your time at this office - go somewhere else!
