Patient Reviews
Jul 24, 2016
I have experienced Five Star service from Dr. James Dunn during the visits I have had with him recently. First, I had a breast cancer scare and was recommend to him for an additional opinion. I was lucky as his approach matched how I approach issues that arise with my health. Dr. Dunn ordered more testing, 2 ultrasounds and a MRI. The end result was no biopsy was needed. Also, I had Gall Bladder surgery that went perfectly. Cottage Hospital and the nurses were amazing too.
