Dr Downey is amazing. He was super concerned that my problem had not been addressed for 4 months (not his fault, it is VA understaffing). Everyone at Urology NW was fabulous. [...] scheduled my first appointment and said she would try to get me a sooner appt - and a day later, she called with an appointment within 48 hours instead of two weeks.

Dr. Downey always provides excellent service. I look forward to our visits...
