Review for Dr. Donegan
I was one of her first patients in Lexington and she's still my primary care physician. She's VERY good at listening and explaining things to a patient. She's very personable and knowledgeable.

Review for Dr. Fairchild
I deal with a highly complex condition. Finding common sense, willing doctors isn't easy. I highly recommend Dr. Hamilton. He's practical, tries hard to relate, and listens to his patients. So rare! Talk to him.

Great communication; went over and above to get MRI, reading and appt same day because I live 2 hours away. He’s very personable, and honest with what he feels needs to, or doesn’t need to, be done. Neither will he rush you. Takes time to answer your question or concerns. 150% recommend!
