I would give 0 stars if that was an option!! I got a major infection 2 days post-op. He stopped my antibiotics prescribed by another hospital saying “ you don’t get an abscess 2 days after surgery.” Well, I did. Had to be admitted to ICU, rapid response team had to be called. He acted like I did something wrong! Said I had a “minor” setback. Had to be admitted a second time because he sent me home with antibiotic that didn’t work on the bacteria the culture grew out. Worst experience ever!!

I was referred to Dr. McDowell and I am so glad I was. From the very start my experience was pleasant, my consultation was not rushed and i was able to ask all of the questions i had regarding my procedure. The day of the surgery he was extremely kind, while i was a ball of nerves. He talked through the things i was anxious about and even had me laughing before heading back for surgery. Dr. McDowell is one of the most compassionate doctors and you can tell he absolutely loves his job and his patients.

Total waste of time and money. The Dr is incredibly nice, b... read more
