Dr. Damin is a very smart doctor, I think he tries to help his patients. I have been to many doctors and he is the only one that found that I have a weak immune system. I wish I had went to him years ago.

Dr Damin is very professional and personable and excellent explaining my condition and the options and what are the most important things and then reviewing again. Very much appreciated his time spent explaining things in a way that I could understand.

I travel to Vanderbilt specifically for the level of care, concern, and explanation that I receive from every member of the care team. I always feel heard and never rushed. I appreciate that they explain why and how these things are affecting me in medical and scientific terms. I believe that knowing and having the science explained to me is important. I also appreciate that they treat me as an educated person who values this explanation.
