Dr. Dowell investigated why I might be having pain and explained what she could do and was able to inform me of everything that could help my pain.

Dr. Dowell did not provide any specific guidance. She said no restrictions and no sex. Other women I know have gone through this journey have told me that their care providers gave them more specific guidance. Dr. Dowell was very sweet but was rushed

Dr. Dowell made the examination as comfortable and painless for me as possible. She was very thorough, while respecting my privacy. She answered my question about a concern I had and put my mind at ease. I was out in no time. I highly recommend Dr. Dowell!

We had 3 separate issues she addressed with me plus the exam. She is totally tuned in to you and has a very calming demeanor.
