“I was taken to Eugene from Lebanon with a fractured hip, and Dr. Wilkinson and the team were very professional and personable. My hip was repaired in no time, and I am on the road to recovery, one step at a time. Thank you so much.”
Treating Doctor: Brandon G. Wilkinson, MD
“I was impressed with his punctuality. Dr. Dowdle was straightforward, transparent, and compassionate. He did not sugarcoat anything. He provided me with options for pain. If that doesn't work, then surgery is needed.”
Treating Doctor: S. Blake Dowdle, MD
