Downing provided the necessary feedback for my appointment/visit at this clinic. I would have liked to discuss tips and what to observe in my infant's one month marker of life. Instead, I felt the vaccination schedule was emphasized more than anything. I decided to choose another practice that will best suit my child and I needs.

Dr. Downing is great! She listens and knew exactly which tests we needed for our son. We needed certain tests for daycare and she already had them ready before we told her. She prescribed antibiotics for him and he felt better in one day. Iâ€™m so thankful she was able to see us.

We met Dr. Downing at the hospital during our stay. She was so friendly and gentle with our little one. We decided to schedule our first well-check visit with her and she was such a delight. She was quick and efficient and knew how to deal with our little one when he would get fuzzy. She was generous and kind enough to give us formula samples since we were having a hard time with the formula shortage in our area.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
