Treating Doctor: Lucas Korcek, MD
“Doctor Bear was an awesome doctor and easy to talk to. He listens to his patients, and that is important to me. I like him he is very polite.”
“Slocum is like a well-oiled machine. Everyone and everything knows its place and purpose. At a glance, this could seem cold and indifferent. However, the experience is anything but. Each person I interacted with was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. And I appreciated meeting with Dr. Dowdle who took just enough time with me to explain my situation.”
Treating Doctor: S. Blake Dowdle, MD
“Dr. Dowdle is very nice and considerate. He was recommended to me.”
“Really pleased with Dr. Dowdle, I will definitely go back if I need to.”
“Dr. Bear was very professional and very kind open. He made me feel really relaxed.”
“I am happy with Dr. Dowdle. Very thorough and respectful. I will hold my remarks about my upcoming procedure this Friday until then.”
“Dr. Bear’s exam was thorough and thoughtful. This provided me a relatively high confidence level in his recommended course of treatment, along with an understanding of further measures that may be needed if the initial treatment did not resolve my finger pain and movement issues.”
“Dr. Dowdle is very kind and personable. He makes you feel very comfortable, and I was very nervous at my first appointment.”
