I see many doctors for different issues. Dr. Don is always a delight to see. Very personable. On time. Understanding and accommodating. Great personality. He knows what he’s doing and is a true professional in his field. He makes my pain bearable. I would recommend him to anyone I know or don’t personally know that could use his services.
