Dr. Downey did my panni and Dr. Thirlby fixed my hernia with a mesh insert. I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Downey. I went in saying do the best that you can do and I had no expectations going in. I went from 404 to 260 and after panni am at 240, my incision is a small red line that is fading with no infections or problems that I had previously had with all incisional healing. His office was very pleasant and nurses very caring.
Dr. Downy takes a personal interest in his patients. He did an excellent job on me and I was back to work in two weeks. He visited me in the pre-op room prior to surgery and I think I can remember him talking to me sometime after surgery. He is a wonderful doctor.
Dr. Downey did two emergency surgies on my mom after she developed a three-year infection after back surgery. The only reason my mom's infection resolved was due to the skill and persistence of this physician. They finally had to remove the hardware from her back. He spent several hours carefully closing her fragile skin (my mother is obese), working with already scarred tissue.
I'm pre-op but if after my surgery I had the chance to have Dr. Downey do plastic surgery I'd do it in a heartbeat. In fact, if or when I get to that place, I'll ask him for recommendations.
He does not believe in combining surgeries. He wanted to do four different surgies for all my lifts. I though this was excessive. Most surgeons that I talked with would do it in two procedures. The tummy and thighs in one and the breast and arms in another. I thought he was very knowledgable, but I am not sure if I will use him or not.
