I was very impressed and appreciative.

It's refreshing to have a cardiologist treat you as an intelligent person, and not as like a child.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Dowsley, and I might have pressed the wrong number at one point. So just to be sure, I had no complaints whatsoever. Very good doctor, and yes, he listened to all my concerns and explained everything very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone. That's all.

The Nurse and Taylor Dowsley did excellent work
Aug 9, 2025
The doctor talked very fast and he made it seem like my symptoms were no big deal. Which at first seemed like a good thing, but instead of being comforting, it felt slightly dismissive.

I appreciate the valet parking and golf cart rides.

Taking the EKG wasn't really explained to me, as it happen so fast that I could not think of any questions. However the Doctor I seen was very good.

It was a very good appointment with a plan going forward to find out why my symptoms ==monitor/ stress test. Not only did both the nurse and Dr. Dowsley listen they also asked clarifying questions to me. They cared and wanted to understand and help. Thank you.

I saw a PCT who was kind. Wish I would have asked more questions about the effectiveness of statins in post menopausal women since most studies were done on men, so will continue my own research. Thanks

Great Dr. Not impressed with the nurse. Plus after I saw the Dr it took 1 hour for the scheduler to come in and schedule my angiogram. Then told to go out to lobby scheduler to schedule my echocardiogram. Adding another 15 minutes.

Great clinic
Mar 10, 2025
After I saw the doctor, I waited for the nurse to come back so we can make my next appointment. I waited for 30 minutes and no one came so I finally called the office and finally the nurse came in now. They probably were busy but to leave me in the room 30 minutes after I saw the doctor I think is not right

Had a good time making the appointment! Had a good visit with Dr. Dowsley. Followed up with his plan. Hoping to ease my mind. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

He agrees trying to get an appointment in cardiology is HORRIBLE when in told him what I had to go thru to get a 6mo check after TAVR SURGERY!! He said I wasn't the only patient that's told him that!! He said, "They keep telling us it will get better, but WHEN?? nothing ever seems to happen" ! Not sure if it's poor training for employees by scheduling supervisor but this has gone on for years!! I've had a conversation with supervisor about another issue at FTONT desk with scheduling employees too!!

Very happy with the care given.
Jan 13, 2025
Biggest thing is I don't know what questions to ask.. So when a doctor takes the time to explain a few things it is very helpful. I can help navigate things to look and watch for. Thank you for a good experience.

Going to a cardiologist is scary but both the nurse and Dr. made me feel comfortable and at ease.
Jan 9, 2025
I felt the doctor was rushed and at one point he interrupted me and said listen to me as I was going to give some input about my situation as I'd been given one of my diagnoses from Mayo prior to three months and wanted to explain my most recent ER/hospital stay as well. In my opinion, I felt he had looked at my file somewhat but not throughly. I've had to see many specialists and wanted him to have a brief understanding as it's my health and well being I need to advocate for. I will supposedly see him in three months and hoping our communication improves although I felt it was better toward the end of this last appointment. Thank you.

It was a follow up on the pace maker and former hospitalization (He spoke of them, but did not discuss- explain or ask me if I had questions.)

Thank you for providing expert and kind caring attention!
