      Dr. Dowdy was amazing, took time to talk with us. We talked about watches and he took care of my toe, removed my toenail, no pain. He injected it with painkiller and used the spray for a cold to make it painless. And I'm on the men. He explained everything and was wonderful and I can't wait to tell people about him.

      I couldn't walk very far by myself, so the receptionist had kindly wheeled me up there. But when I asked for someone to take me back to the lobby, I sat there for a while and then eventually the front desk people with seemingly annoyed looks, you know, handed me a paper about arranging medical transport to appointments. And then had one of their nurses wheel me back down to the lobby, which seemed like a not really helpful in the moment when all I really needed was help getting wheeled to the lobby. So yeah.
