“Dr. Megan McDowell was wonderful. She was extremely gentle, kind, and calming. I was very nervous for my appointment and she answered all my questions and double checked things I was worried about during my exam. She has a very calming presence and was super friendly.
For anyone nervous about a Pap smear and breast exam I highly recommend Dr. Megan McDowell.”

The pap examination I had done was short and easy. I was really scared to do this for the first time, but it was totally painless. Also, no one was judgmental.

Excellent experience. We did our part by coming in with completed new patient paperwork in hand. From there, our wait time was no more than 5-7 minutes at any given time. We moved through the three parts of the appointment smoothly and efficiently. Dr McDowell deserves the 5-star rating she's earned. She's smart, empathetic, funny, sincere and straightforward. Highly recommend.

I am a physician who just moved back to the area and I trained under Dr. McDowell several years ago. When I saw her name come up while I was searching for a new OBGYN I was immediately relieved. She has always been one of the kindest, most conscientious providers in her field and she hasn’t changed at all. I would highly recommend her, especially for anyone who’s a little nervous or uncomfortable in a gyn office. Another benefit of Dr. McDowell is that she will be completely honest with you about everything - from what she thinks the real problem is to pain levels during procedures - and she and her staff (Julissa is who I remember best) will be far more supportive than most other gynecologists you will meet. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to a friend.

This was my first visit at this office and with Dr. McDowell. Every single person was friendly, professional and extremely efficient. In addition to my doctor's appointment I was set up with my annual mammogram and bloodwork at the same location. Dr. McDowell was great, answered all of my questions and then some. Highly recommend.
