Rare are the doctors who make you feel that you are the only appointment in the day and who don't rush you. The admin team with their smiles and kindness are a reflection of the friendly, professional and patient doctor that Mr. Downes is. I cannot recommend this team enough!

Excellent doctor. Mr. Downes explained my condition clearly and how to carry out a protocol that would alleviate my pain. I have been offered surgery if this protocol doesn't work over the next few weeks. He also took a thorough history of my previous gynaecological issues. He had a very relaxed attitude and would happily see him again for any medical dilemmas.

It was lovely meeting Mr. Dawn, he was very welcoming & made me feel at ease, which wasn’t the easiest after being for 38 years with Mr. Mason. He was very efficient and explained to me every step of procedure which went on very smoothly. Emma and Debbie were very helpful and pleasant too.

Mr. Downes was exceedingly professional yet had a very reassuring bedside manner.
