He was very kind, gentle and professional. I have a lot of health issues on my mind (a long list) and he is helping me sort things out and make a temporary plan regarding the ones involving the Thyroid. I greatly appreciate his time and effort. I have overall been disappointed with the lack of quality medical care, especially to females, throughout my life. Doctors who Care, like I now know Dr. Downs does, are helping me gain trust in Medical Science. It’s amazing what a little interest and kindness will do.
