Review for Dr. Dawson
Dr. McClung is very professional with a great bedside manner. She performed an excision on the bottom of my right foot with no pain. She was gentle and precise. She answered all my questions and put me at ease. I highly recommend!
Kathryn Reed Apr 13 2024
Review for Dr. McClung
I was pleasantly surprised how delightful Dr. Savage was since I had read in one of the reviews that he supposedly had a poor bedside manner. I found the opposite to be true. He was very knowledgeable about my condition, having reviewed my notes before he saw me. He spent plenty of time explaining...

Review for Dr. Savage
Dr. Le was on point and I like that he didn't jump into any conclusion in my condition today. I enjoyed his straight forwardness, vibe and energy. I look forward in working with him long term to find a solution for my long term neck issues. Thank you Dr Le!
