Consultations are by appointment only.
In general, the consultation should be at least three months in advance of the date you would like to have the operation performed. No claims for cosmetic surgery can ever be submitted to insurance carriers. Dr. Dowden is also not connected in any way with any government health-financing networks, including Medicare and the military. Dr. Dowden has many patients who are on Medicare, but they are solely responsible for their own expenses. It is important that patients understand that such government health-financing networks cannot be billed for any procedure, visit or service performed by Dr. Dowden, regardless of whether it is cosmetic surgery or not.
