In addition to joint preservation, Dr. Downer treats patients with more advanced complications. He performs over 500 hip replacements a year.

He went on to completed his orthopedics residency at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and fellowship in hip surgery with Dr. Reinhold Ganz in Bern, Switzerland.
