"Dr.McDowell showed compassion for me from day one and I know in my heart I made the right choice with chosing him as my surgeon. He was very sensitive to my family and after surgery he made his self available to me to answer any questions I had. The office staff is wonderful and I have no complaints. He does stress follow-up appointments and sticking to your puree diet for 8 weeks. I would rate Dr.McDowell a 10 and both his bedside manner and surgical competence were out standing!"
