My son had bone cancer, but sadly he passed away. Dr. Dormans and his staff went out of their way at every step to make sure that my son was treated with expert care and respect. I would recommend anyone to go to Dr. Dormans.

Dr Dormans did durgery on my femur 15 years ago when i had a tumor (Osteochondroma). He was a great Dr back then and im kind of surprised to read all these bad reviews about him. I guess he has changed from 15 years ago but if he hasnt then he is def a Dr i would recommend for your children.

My family feels lucky to have been referred to Dr Dormans. We waited over 2 hours with no complaints to see the Dr on my daughters initial visit. We were just happy Dr Dormans was taking the time to fit us in a very busy schedule. He was very personable with an excellent bedside manner. The Dr and his fellow were informative and and answered all questions we asked. We were fit in 2 days later for surgery. Can't say enough about his office's compassionate nature.
