I was recently hospitalized last week for a finger infection. I ended up having surgery and Dr. Downs was my doctor. Very good bedside manner and great doctor. He takes his time to explain things to you. I really liked that. And went to his office for my follow up. All the staff were so sweet and professional.
I had a great experience here, the staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Downs is the best, I will definitely be returning.
The medspa staff are always friendly and welcoming. Kellee has the LIGHTEST touch with an injection needle and always does a great job!

Dr. Macias and her staff helped make this very personal decision easy and comfortable. They took the time to listen and answered all my questions. I was very nervous about having breast surgery but after it was done I was so happy with the results. She truly nailed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Macias to anyone considering any cosmetic surgery.
I was referred to The Centre by the on call hand Doctor that reviewed my ER case after I split my thumb open. From setting up my appointment to being taken care of by the staff, it was a pleasant experience. Each member of the team I met was attentive, very forthright with any information I needed & were an absolute pleasure to be around. Dr. Downs has an amazing staff!
Dr. Downs and The Centre, P.C. staff are wonderful to work with for questions/concerns prior to and after surgery during recovery period. Dr. Downs consults with patient prior to surgery to confirm understanding of what results are important to them.
Additionally, Dr. Downs personally follows up after surgery to ensure that things are going well after discharge which I was extremely impressed by. The office/surgical center provides a more discrete and personalized patient environment with a separate door entrance for the follow-up appointment the day after surgery as well.
Dr. Downs and whole team at Centre PC have been amazing! They listened to me as I told them my desired results, provided different options for me, based on years of industry knowledge and worked alongside me as I navigated the headaches of insurance. I couldn’t be happier with my experience there and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make some positive change in their life!
