I love that the doctor spoke to me as an educated adult and I appreciated the medical and scientific explanation more than usual because my condition often doesn't turn up many answers and I felt like this gave me a better understanding and expectations for managing the condition.I was brushed off at my local allergist and this was more than I could have hoped for. I regularly travel from Paducah KY to Nashville and Vanderbilt for several of my doctors and I'm glad I also chose to do this for my chronic hives

Dr. Damin is amazing! He has changed my life by allowing me to do SCIG at home as opposed to having to go to a clinic monthly. He is extremely knowledgeable about my situation. He is to easy talk with and listens to what I have to say. He explains in a way that I understand initially, so that I don't have to ask him to repeat it again. I am thankful for him.
