John F. Downing Jr.

Dr. Downing was the BEST orthopedic I ever knew, bar none! I was so very sad to hear about his passing just today when I called the office of OSSM to make another appointment there. The last time I saw Dr. Downing, was a couple of years ago and as usual, he was chipper and smiling and making me laugh. His medical expertise and ability to diagnose quickly and accurately recommending the right follow up treatment left me as a patient feeling very comfortable that I was in good hands. He talked...

New Year 2012 starts today. You would be so proud of Karen, Jack, Bill and Nick. They are finding their way. Nanny, Poppy, Mike, Dan and I all miss you terribly. Keep sending those signs:)

To the Downing family: I am so very sorry for your loss. Dr. Downing was, not only an intelligent, wonderful doctor, but also a kind human being. He always truly cared about his patients. He was so proud of his boys and spoke so highly of the love of his life, Karen. It is a loss to so many that such a wonderful human being was taken so young. Dr. Downing and all of you will always be in my prayers. He will be missed by many.

May God bless you and your family during this difficult time, we will remember you always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Downing Family. Dr. Downing was a remarkable man with such compassion ofr his patients. He operated on my husband (shoulder), my son (knee), my daughter (knee) and received my mom as a patient after emergency surgery when she broke her femur in Las Vegas. As the one "in the waiting room" he was always concise and accurate, yet so humane and considerate of my anxieties. He truly was the doctor and surgeon the rest of the medical community should...

Dear Downing Family,
Our sincere sympathy go out to you at the very sad time. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Warmly, Todd Wilkowski and the Performance Physical Therapy Team who truly enjoyed working with Dr. Downing.

To the Downing family,

I was extremely saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Downing. He was my doctor back in the early and late 90s when I suffered two major sport related injuries in high school and college. To me, to this day, when it comes to orthopedist,there is Doctor Downing, and then there is everyone else. Over the years, after having multiple surgeries for one thing or another, I always would measure each doc up to Dr. Downing--but none could match the type of person...
