Dr Donich is a Saint. I was sent to him from my company doctor after being injured and of course I was skeptical. But that was the farthest from what care I have received and still receive. I have already recommended Dr Donich to 2 family members and a close friend. He is an excellent doctor with excellent care all the way around and his PAC Iris I'd phenomenal as well. They took me out of a very dark painful time in my life and made it amazing. Full respect from Me.
