Consultation Review: I look forward to a successful outcome!

I met Dr.Downey and staff in July after being diagnosed with breast cancer . Being in healthcare myself , I look for certain qualities in my provider and their staff .My consultation was for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. During our first meeting and all interactions to this point she and staff has demonstrated exceptional knowledge and such a caring attitude. I feel comfortable and confident that I am in “good hands”.She takes the time to explain everything and listens to what I have to say and that means a lot to me ! Staff is ALWAYS so nice and accommodating.Such an awesome group of individuals here! We are still on the path to reconstruction,awaiting my completion of chemo and radiation. I am blessed to have her and her staff with me along this journey ! I look forward to a successful outcome!

My tummy tuck turned out better than I expected

AMAZING! From the first contact my experience has been positive. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had a lot of questions and their response time is always quick/honest. My tummy tuck turned out better than I expected. The pain was minimal. The recovery is detailed and I think that's why my results will be great long term. If I decide to have another procedure I won't hesitate to see Dr. Downey again.

I chose ideal implants and I am beyond happy with my results!

Dr. Downey and her staff have been absolutely amazing from the first consultation and even until now with my follow up appointments. I could not have chosen better hands to be in. My goal was to exude the confidence I have on the inside to match the outside and look just as amazing as I feel. I had a tummy tuck and implants. I was very particular about the type of implants I wanted to use and Dr. Downey was extremely supportive and never discouraged my choice. I chose ideal implants and I am beyond happy with my results! My procedure went well, and the road to recovery has been rough as expected but Dr. Downey answered all my questions and Meghan was also wonderful helping me get back to normal. The entire staff makes you feel welcome and comfortable! They are amazing at what they do! I’d recommend them to everyone I know!

Made me feel so much better during a very dark time in my life

I love it here, all the girls are so sweet and offer great vibes. The office is always so clean and The way they handle things is very professional. Great customer service is huge to me. Doctor Downey is my doctor, she did an amazing reconstructive eyelid surgery for me which made me feel so much better during a very dark time in my life. She’s been so caring and honest with me always throughout the whole process. I like to call her a Angel on earth for doing my skin graph & fixing my eyelid so well. I appreciate her and Megan so much, they have been nothing short of amazing to me.

A super experience - I can see the results from all my hard work

I had lipo on my stomach and chest three months ago. Dr. Downey and her team did an excellent job. I had worked out for years on my own and with trainers, but I could never lose my stomach. Now, I can see the results from all my hard work. There really is muscle there! I went from an XL to a L shirt, and I am no longer self conscious when I tuck my shirt in. Thanks again Dr. Downey! It's amazing what a difference was made in such a short time.

Awesome staff members

Dr Downey office has made my plastic surgery experience wonderful. I had waited 12 years to have a tummy tuck. Did a lot of research at home and found Dr Downey office there in the Galleria. From the moment I had my 1st consult I knew she was the one. She was very professional and made me feel so comfortable with my decisions. I am around 3 weeks out I feel wonderful and couldn't be happier with my results. Thank you to Dr Downey and her staff member Carla for exceeding my expectations and making this such a good experience.
