Patient Reviews
Jan 23, 2020
As a new patient who was recommended to LISS and Dr. Dowling words cannot describe how overjoyed I am to be pain free post surgery. Dr. Dowling and his staff are suburb, on time appointments, excellent conversation skills to explain the procedure, pre and post surgery, and most important a changed outlook on a pain free day to day life. Not only the highest recommendations, but you are making a mistake if you don't consider him to treat your back and spine.
