Dr.D is very caring. Both me and my partner see her for HIV infection. We drive an hour to see her everytime but we dont mind the distance even a bit. She is very thorough.

trust your life in Dr.D’s hands. She will fight with the surgeon to save your life & limb

My son was in the emergency room . I asked for an infectious disease doctor. This was a Saturday. She "consulted" on his care for the weekend. When I asked again for an infectious disease doctor I was assured she was being consulted. She did not come in to see him until Monday. He was misdiagnosed with bacterial meningitis. She eventually ordered a head ct and mri . This was after he had been in for 2 days. He had to be transferred by ambulance to another hospital for emergency brain surgery for a brain infection. I know labs can take awhile...but had she seen him sooner she would have realized he had sinus issues for weeks and headaches. Our nurse and the charge nurse both stated she should have come in on day one based on his symptoms. She called us for follow up but I really think she knew she had made a mistake and was trying to make up for it. I cannot recommend her. In fact, I would say to avoid her at all costs.

Do not use this person for your doctor, We admitted my daughter to Hospital and her primary and hospital xrays said Pneumonia in both lungs but she kept saying she didn't know why we were at hospital as she didn't agree???? She does not listen and values her opinion as the only possible truth.
