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.

Lack of bed side manners and competence
Dr. Downing’s bed side manners are extremely inappropriate & insensitive. He spoke to us for less than 3 minutes and interrupted every second word. My son has complex medical needs at baseline & he refused to even listen to anything I said. I took my infant to ER for fevers & he said there was nothing to do since he wasn’t dying & vitals were fine. He did no further work up & said we can go home. No labs, no imaging, nothing. This interaction lasted no more than 3 minutes. I immediately took him else where and my son had a kidney infection & now getting an urology work up for blockages. He refused to do any further work up or consult with the pediatric hospitalist. He also had a smirk on his face when I was in tears begging for help because my mama gut knew something was wrong. I asked to speak to another provider and he said that isn’t allowed. Dr. Downing seems to be burned out, incompetent, and heartless. I only Gave him a 1 star rating because 0 wasn’t an option.
