I have been a patient of Dr Joshi's for approximately 5 months. During that time I have seen him…read moreonly once! Each other time, I have been seen by his assistant. Well, recently, I had a second set of blood work performed. I called Joshi's office and said should I come in for a review of my blood work.. they responded, "If you want to." So I went to the office. At my return visit, it turns out that my TSH level was significantly elevated, which is not good. So they said we are sending your blood test results to your internist. Joshi's office wouldn't help me with the elevated TSH level issue. My internist called me today and said that I needed to come in immediately due to my blood test results. I was shocked. The internist said your blood results are completely bad. I wondered why Joshi's office didn't tell me this information. For instance, the blood work revealed a significantly high B 12 level. Joshi's office never told me that. My internist was kind enough to tell me to immediately stop the B 12 supplements which were prescribed by Joshi's office. Why didn't Joshi's office tell me that? There are many bad results from my blood work which were never discussed with my by Dr. Joshi's assistant when I was there. Now I have to go to my internist to have him explain the blood results. Why did I spend all that money, cash, at Joshi's office? I could have just stayed with my internist. Needless to say I am so disgusted with Joshi's office. My internist is so worried about me that he told me to come in immediately to his office. Why did I go to Joshi in the first place? I guess I was not a high income patient for his office so they just didn't call me about my blood test results. I will NEVER go back to that office again and feel that his office committed malpractice in the handling of my case.

They care nothing about their patients, I needed gout medication refill and didn't have insurance…read moreand they refused to refill the prescription due to the fact that they overcharged a thousand dollars that my insurance wouldn't cover now. They care about payment and if you having health issue and insurance issues you will have to send them money when they are overcharging excessive charges that can be deemed bad business practices. Go anywhere else. When I went they only allowed me to see doctor assistance never the actual dr and why I'm having gout at this early age they were unable to figure out other than guesses. Their medical knowledge is lacking for these excessive medical charges. They should be investigated for fraud!

It was actually a good visit for my mother. We were there for an MRI of the brain. I had called a…read morecouple of days before to get an appointment and they were very accommodating. They got us scheduled at the nearest location within 5 days which was very reasonable. The staff was friendly. The technician was very patient and professional. He explained everything to my 93 year old mom. Talked her through the process making sure she was doing well throughout the procedure. She did a great job staying still. I was very proud of her. It's not easy at that age. They do offer anesthesia for people who need it, but you need to tell them in advance. Mom didn't need it at all. Her primary physician got the results within a couple of days. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that they are very busy and the wait time was longer than usual. That's understandable. Other than that, everything went smoothly. During COVID-19, they have the seats in the waiting room spaced 6 feet apart. You must wear a mask before you enter. There's a sign posted on the door to wait before entering. The technician comes out immediately to greet and screen people before allowing them to enter. It was all very easy and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

I had a very upsetting experience at TGH Imaging Brandon (Bell Shoals) around noon on 10/24/25. The…read morefront desk clerk, Sarah, refused to schedule the ultrasound my doctor specifically prescribed, insisting instead that I should get a mammogram. Even after explaining that my doctor had instructed me to continue with ultrasound imaging, she dismissed my statement and made unsolicited comments about what I "should" be doing. I was already in pain and under time pressure, and her behavior was invasive, dismissive, and unprofessional. I ended up having to insist that she at least process my X-rays. Staff handling patient intake should respect physician orders and treat patients professionally -- this experience fell far short. The waiting room like all the tgh offices/hospital are so cold and spartan, must be like what prison is. Just beige, no plants, no comfy chairs, just basic and pathetic. TGH is so cheap when it comes to amenities. There are none. A tv on the wall is not an amenity. At least they did have free wifi but it sucked too. The only saving grace was the lovely x-ray tech, sadly I forgot her name. She was amazing, kind, attentive and oh so helpful since I do not get around quickly. She waited and went above and beyond and opened every door for me all the way out to the parking lot.

This was my first visit to this facility and everything from scheduling my appointment over the…read morephone to the actual examination and consultation with Dr. dowdy was absolutely amazing .... I no longer had a primary care physician so I called a few places and they were short, they were kind of rude, they seemed impatient but the most important thing was that they absolutely were not willing to see me that day ... and I felt like it was something that needed immediate attention. When I CALLED EVOLUTION they were so helpful and when I arrived the place was beautiful, they were all just as nice as you could imagine and the doctor was super cool and most importantly informative, patient and caring and seemed really well educated... he's a bit younger so it seemed as though he is more current and relevant in the practice of medicine...Honestly I told all my friends and family that live in the area to be sure to schedule their next doctor appt with him. So if your looking for a great physician and a great experience give this place a call 110517. I have now scheduled three or four different visits with Dr Dowdy.... both doctor and staff are always so caring and attentive... I never feel rushed and The doctor really engages in conversation with you instead of it feeling so one-sided... Dr Dowdy has even called me himself to check in on me... I honestly didn't think any doctors did that anymore LOL... I wish other doctors would take a page from his handbook... But Until the day that happens I would encourage everybody to consider switching their primary care over to evolution... It truly is a Evolution in patient care !!!!

What truly sets Dr. Dowdy apart is his patient-centered approach. He doesn't rush through…read moreappointments. Instead, he takes the time to listen intently to your concerns and symptoms, asking thoughtful questions that show he's genuinely invested in your well-being. It's clear that he's not just looking to treat the symptoms on the surface; he's on a mission to uncover the root cause of the issue. I've been to doctors who simply prescribe a pill and send you on your way. Dr. Dowdy, however, is a breath of fresh air. He takes the time to explain the "why" behind your health concerns, discussing potential lifestyle, environmental, or underlying factors that could be at play. This thoroughness is a testament to his dedication and expertise. He is Definitely a 5 star physician.
