Colonial Internal Medicine Associates claims "they always have a physician on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year without exception". Yet when I experienced a medical issue after hours and left several messages, I did not receive a single call back despite CIMA claiming to employ 6 physicians and 5 PAs. I have been a patient of CIMA for nearly 10 years. Their claim to always have a physician on call was one of the reasons I chose this practice. Ignoring patients when they need help is completely unprofessional and disrespectful.

The physicians at Colonial Internal Medicine really an active approach in getting to know me and my family so they provide us with the best medical treatment in the state. My family and I have been patients of Dr. McDowell since 2006 and have always been treated with the utmost respect and compassion. Dr. McDowell and his staff have seen our family through both the happy and difficult times in life. I am proud to say our family are patients of this great practice.

Nurse and Physician Assistant pleasant and efficient but the administration end of this operation is cheesy. (1) They charged me a co-pay when my insurance clearly says that I should not have to pay one for this type of visit and (2) to get a copy of my test results I'm told I have to send them a stamped self-addressed envelope or stop by (a 60-mile round trip for me). Really? I'm not sure I'm comfortable dealing with an outfit operating this close to the bone financially. Not sure i will return to this practice.

I have been with Dr McDowell for six years now. He has a very responsive staff and have always received great primary care. I'm very happy to have found him when I returned from over 20 years overseas.

Stays on top of your medical conditions. Very family oriented. Always truly glad to see you. I have lived in the area for 36 years and he is number one in my book and my families.
