Dr Don has been my primary care physician for 28 years. She is always efficient, friendly, and explains things so I can understand them. I always feel like she really cares about me...and we've been through illnesses large and small over the years.

For many years, I have been so lucky to be one of Dr. Don’s patients. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and gives very understandable medical information on her recommendations. She has been very thorough with my care and I am in very good health because of her. She gets 5 stars from me but I worry that she will have too many patients to care for.
