Happy Doctors Day to an incredible physician who truly goes above and beyond!

Today we proudly recognized our very own Dr. Downing who not only provides exceptional care, but also owns and leads his practice with dedication and integrity.

As the only surgeon in Wythe County, his role in our community is truly invaluable. He offers 24/7 call coverage- and extraordinary commitment that reflects his passion for caring for others at all times.

Dr Downing is also the only surgeon in the area performing the innovative LINX procedure for patients who suffer with acid reflux, ensuring patients have access to advanced surgical care close to home.

Thank you, Dr. Downing for your leadership, skill, and compassion you show every day. We are grateful for all that you do for your patients and our community!
