Charlottesville Direct Primary Care

There are not enough stars to express my gratitude to Dr Downey for her compassionate care, wisdom and commitment to her profession. She spent more time with me on my first visit then all drs, PAs and NPs combined over the past 15 yrs. She patiently explained prior lab results and what she planned to order and why. She thinks outside the box and as a result identified several issues which are now being addressed with outstanding specialists that she helped to coordinate. Dr. Downey continues to monitor all tests and procedures and has always responded incredibly quickly when I’ve had questions. For the first time in 15yrs. I have felt heard and like I am a partner in my own health. Thank you Dr. Downey!!

Not only is Dr. Downey a kind and compassionate doctor, she’s also a partner that joins me in navigating my complicated health issues. Over the past year, we’ve built a strong and trusting relationship in which I feel heard and seen—there’s no dismissal of my symptoms or feelings, and I can count on her to be direct with me. Dr. Downey is my advocate when dealing with healthcare specialists, and she acts as the leader of my care team, both of which are rare qualities in today's healthcare system. Her tenacity has been a gift to me, especially when at times, I would like to give up on myself. She and Summer provide an amazing team, and I cannot speak highly enough about them. Their unique combination of experience, professionalism, kindness, and perseverance have been a relief to me after years of feeling very alone in my medical care.

Dr Downey is a truly unique care provider with great attention to individual needs especially when it comes to advocating with the larger healthcare community. She thinks outside the box and is ready to dialogue to find solutions for health concerns and challenges starting at the root cause. She has a great mix of perspectives and disciplines and is always responsive from the small questions to the bigger ones. Truly a gem to have on your side, get on her waitlist and consider yourself extremely lucky to be in her care.

Dr. Downey is an excellent physician! From my first appointment, I felt heard and that my health was in good hands. I am sad to leave the practice due to the move, but I highly recommend her practice to anyone looking into the direct primary care model.

EXCELLENT! Charlottesville Direct Primary Care is simply excellent. Dr. Rebecca Downey is a knowledgeable, caring and responsive primary care physician. I was very frustrated with the level of care I was receiving for my front-line medical needs and sought recommendations for someone who has great skills, is highly organized and quick with responses to my questions and medical needs. Dr. Downey was the name I kept hearing and so I contacted her practice. She and I met to see if the relationship would be a good fit, and I felt confident she is highly professional, ethical and caring. I joined her practice and have been totally pleased with her exceptional care. She knows her medicine, responds very quickly and works well with my other specialist providers at UVA Health and Sentara. I could not give a higher rating. I’m thankful for her medical care.
