Testimonials

5 star rating

Time spent with Dr. Dowell is always pleasant. He may stick foot long needles into my mouth and freeze me and his other patients to near ice cube state...but it truly does allow him to do his best with each person. The entire staff is pleasant. One other plus.....he has the best magazines in the waiting area......unfortunately I've never spent enough time there to read one through.
