Dr Downing is a very knowledgeable and caring Dr. His staff is extremely kind and patient. Dr Downing listened to me and was an advocate for my back pain. I would definitely recommend Dr Downing for your spine

I have been a patient for some time now. He is the kindest man I have ever met

I am totally satisfied with the entire staff working with Dr. Downing from entrance to the exit from this office. They have the ability to make me feel comforted by voice tones, smiles and patient care. So professional. Dr. Downing makes the injections as less fearful as he can. Very caring of me and he has super assistants present with him in the room. Quite pleased at this time.

Been seeing Dr Downing for about 4 years for back injections. That is the only time I see him, never in his office. He has a PA for that. He wears a face mask while doing the procedure and not much communication. His injections have been helping, and Patty his PA is very good at her job. However, today I went in for an ablation and was suppose to receive sedation, they injected the sedation, however it did not work. Usually, I can taste it and it relaxes me and I don't feel the injections. Today, was absolutely the worst appointment I have ever had. I told him it wasn't working and he said you received enough, you don't need anymore. I sobbed the entire time the procedure was going on. Not to mention my Bp was 198/99 from the pain. So disappointed in Dr Downing today, I will be looking for another doctor. One that actually will meet with you and discuss the problems. Him reading a report from his PA is not the same as speaking directly to him.

Mainly had injections, lumbar and cervical spine, but found all of the above still application for service I received from Dr. Downing and all his staff. Thank you

Would not let me talk and explain my condition. Said that he can't help me. After doing some research on the Internet and talking to other patients seems that this doctor only treats older individuals with high end health insurance and work or car accident related insurance. Not compassionate and very rude.

PERFECTION AT ITS BEST.

Dr Downing has been managing my pain relief for about 2 yrs and has always taken the time to explain my options and because I ask, always let's me know what is happening during the procedures. He is caring and has helped manage my pain. His staff is excellent, patient and quick to alleviate any anxiety I may have prior to any procedure.

Dr. Downing is very professional with a personable bedside manner. I have had nerve root injections, which are painful. Dr. Downing and his staff are really good at putting me at ease and talking with me, keeping my mind occupied during the procedure.

I briefly met with him in another Dr.s Office to schedule my Nerve Block. On the day of the procedure, he did not talk with me prior to going into the OR, but waited until after there. When he did talk, he talked behind me at a table just prior to the administration of my anesthesia. There was minimum Eye to Eye contact.After my procedure concluded, I was told I need to resked a second injection of the blocking agent. He never talked over the results of the procedure to my driver (whom I gave permission for him to talk with) or me, and no explanation was given as to why I needed a second application.The day after my procedure, the surgery center checked on me, but Dr. Downings office did not. Much the same mannerism was displayed during my second procedure. Only this time while I was talking to him (he was behind me at the table), the anesthesiologist was applying anesthesia this was not fair.It appears patients are more of a cattle call I suspect there were more of his patients during each of my surgery center visits, and thus he needed to move on to the next one. My experience to date with his lack of communication is wanting. Is he a good Dr.? I guess so ... Unfortunately for me, I think my problems will have to be cured with more evasive surgery - it was a good try though. In short, if you become a patient of his, be sure to explain how youd like to be treated in the OR, and how youd like for your driver to be informed by him. Due this in advance, otherwise, communication will be status quo and your experience will resemble mine. Best Wishes!
