Joshua Downie, MD

Can't recommend. This doctor gave me surgery but septum was not fixed. So I returned to him and he told me that I just needed to continue nasal sprays and dismissed me when I asked about alternatives. I don't think Dr. Downie understood just how bad the problem was - and I tried to tell him - because my next doctor did! Be careful with the doctor you choose.

I can sincerely recommend Dr. Downie if you are experiencing sinus issues. He is caring, professional, and thorough. He will take time to listen to your history and complaints. Rarely do you find a doctor willing to spend time educating his patient like Dr. Downie. I left his office feeling confident that I had chosen a doctor who was knowledgeable and passionate about his profession. Thank you Dr. Downie for your concern and help. I am doing much better. :- Katie

Went into sinus surgery with one infection and came out with 3. They ghosted me after 4 months of antibiotics. He said “well at least now you can breathe “. I told him on several occasions that wasn’t my problem that I couldn’t move mucus. Come to find out it took an infectious disease doctor to diagnose me after 30 seconds that no one could do after 30 years. I have primary immunodeficiency which my body can’t make the antibodies to fight these infections. Lifetime gamma globulin treatments from human plasma. Went around and around until I found Dr. French ENT who referred me to Dr. Pugliese. Stay away from him , Dr Sinha and Dr. Chaco!

If I could give a lower rating I would -- DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR - Dr. Downie ALL HE DOES IS HAND YOU A PIECE OF PAPER TO READ ON WHAT EVER SYMPTOMS YOU HAVE BUT HE DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. I went with my husband to see him and thought maybe there just was nothing to be done as my husband suffers from tinnitus, so my son was suffering from a deviated septum and this group could get him in quicky. I called his nurse to talk to her about my son's situation and requested it remain confidential, but it did not -- I have never been more angry and disappointed in a group but this doctor and his team should go out of business -- now I know how they could see a new patient on the day you call them, because they have no customers.

Dr. Downie and his team are always caring and accessible. Dr. Downie sees me and my husband and we've always had a great experience. I also feel he's an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Downie has been treating my husband for several months. He always takes time to answer my husband's many questions. Dr. Downie responds with clear and understandable answers. He make you feel comfortable to ask anything. I like the thorough, diagnostic approach that he has taken with my husband problem.

I went to Downie in 2016 when he was at Northside ENT. I've had serious sinus problems for almost as long as I can remember. We ended up doing a sinus surgery that June. It included a septoplasty, a debridement and a tonsillectomy. A couple months I complained the nostrils felt as if they were collapsing and I still couldn't breathe. He scheduled another surgery that September of the same year - 2016. I had a one year old and finding care for this all to happen was very difficult. Three years later, I am going to a different ENT because I have more sinus problems than ever that are now effecting my vision and ears. For example- I've had a sinus infection since Christmas and it's now June...with only a brief break during April after getting on antibiotics. He said he would never abandon me but my new ENT office can't even get a copy of the post-opp information like he didn't do a report.. or request a CT-scan after surgery. I wouldn't recommend him.

Dr Downie is EXCEPTIONAL in his knowledge and care. But don't expect to hear back from the office if you need anything for several days..

Dr. Downie is outstanding. He is kind, thoughtful and thorough. I can’t recommend him more.
