Dr. Downey is very reachable and approachable. I feel very comfortable dealing with his practice.

I have to have two surgeries to partially undo the surgery he needlessly performed due to a misdiagnosis. He literally put my toe on crooked. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!

Dr. Downey came recommended by my local podiatrist, I was hesitant at first because its a two hour drive but....... Dr. Downey is simply put amazing. Have had two surgeries in the last 2 months and every single step of the way has been easy and fluid. Dr Downey takes the time to explain exactly what is going on, takes the time to answer any and all questions you may have and overall had me as a patient feeling totally comfortable and at ease! Penn is a teaching hospital and every resident or student I had exemplified all the great character traits and total professionalism as Doctor Downey himself! I simply cannot say enough great things about my experience with Dr Downey, His AMAZING Residents, the workers in front and the UPenn health systems as a whole!!! Thank you so much!!! I know for a FACT that if I ever need anything else, I will be driving the two hours to Philadelphia NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!!!

Unbelievable and very disturbing. Doctor is the only one who said he sees a tumor in my ankle. No other doctor has seen it. The two procedures he recommends are very invasive. When I called to schedule surgery, which he said must be done immediately, the scheduling person was taking a call off site. She told me to call and leave a voicemail message and she would not pick up. Weeks went by, when I called again. This time, she got a pen and wrote down my questions for the doctor(questions I got from my second opinion doctor) Again, no call back until last night...two more weeks later, and the message was to make another office appointment to ask the doctor my questions This will be the third office appointment. I told the office manager that I live about 2 hours away and I need a driver to take me. I asked if the doctor could just take a couple of minutes to call me and discuss this surgery and my concerns? The reply was no, you must come in. The doctor is busy. I guess his 5 minutes to talk to his patient is more valuable that my 4 hour ride(to and from) his office. They are ONLY here to make money... schedule lots of surgery and appointments and move to the next patient. So sad that there is no care or concern for people. .
