What Members Are Saying

At the end of 2020 Dr. Downing caught an unusual rise in one of my bloodwork markers. To keep this brief that number turned out to be a sign of an uncurable blood cancer known as Multiple Myeloma. In March of 2021 it was confirmed. The quick catch by my doctor means I have no bone involvement or kidney issues which are the usual things that signal a problem. Since my Myeloma was caught so early it means I have had treatments at a much earlier stage and am on a maintenance dose of drugs and still active and enjoying my life. It is uncurable and the problem with this cancer is it likes to figure out a way around the drugs and relapse the patient. As for now I am holding steady with my marker numbers and have a much greater chance at a longer progression free survival than people who are diagnosed later after damage has been done. Dr. Downing has always been there for me with medical support and emotional support. My parents who are in their late 80's also see him as their doctor and we all appreciate his attentiveness and care.

I appreciate your caring ways. You listen to what I am saying. I appreciate your knowledge. I appreciate your bed side manner. I am very interested in the yearly summary of my health. Thank you for your interest in my good health.

Carolyn

Patient of Michael J. Downing, MD

Dr. Downing always listens and makes one feel special. If there is any kind of problem or question, he is willing to listen and discuss it with you! He makes one feel that he is not only your Doctor but a good friend as well! That is comforting and I know that he is a phone call away, should there be a need.

Meet Michael J. Downing, MD

I became an internist to fulfill my goal of providing an overall better healthcare experience. I believe in treating my patients as I would my family. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I am able to develop personalized healthcare plans for all of my patients. We focus on wellness and prevention and effectively manage acute and chronic conditions. The close relationships I am able to develop with my patients fosters open communication in an unrushed environment, which is imperative to providing the comprehensive care you deserve.

My affiliation with MDVIP has helped me practice internal medicine the way I was trained and allows me the time to develop educational programs for my patients, deliver prompt care and expand my services in many other areas, including preventive medicine, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, weight loss and nutritional counseling. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

I continue to offer care in the office, hospital and at home when appropriate. My personalized healthcare practice serves the greater Baltimore, Maryland area and Anne Arundel County, including Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Millersville, Severna Park, Annapolis, Severn, Linthicum Heights, Arnold and Crofton.

I am affiliated with Baltimore Washington Medical Center as an attending physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

My wife and I both received this email, so I will respond for both of us.
We have been patients of Dr. Downing since he opened his practice here in Glen Burnie, Md several years ago. Our previous doctor had retired and recommended that we try Dr. Downing.
