Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2016
I recommend Dr D. to everyone. He is a very kind, caring and compassionate Doctor. He has the best bedside manner I have ever experience with a Doctor, and I went through many before I found him. He truly cares about his patients. He makes sure they understand what he is explaining to them, you don't find that in a Doctor these days. Dr. D does see my family at home. I have had Dr. D involved with my elderly family members for over 8 years.
