  • I cannot recommend Dr. Donmez enough!!! She has been my son's doctor since he was only a couple of days old and we are so very grateful for her. Not only is she extremely intelligent - she has an incredibly warm, friendly nature and has always gone above and beyond to create a comfortable environment for her pediatric patients. Her passion for working with children and their families is evident at each of our visits! Recently, my son had a significant health scare and Dr. Donmez made me feel educated, informed and at ease throughout the entire process. Her genuine interest in my son's health was apparent, and her quick response is what helped him to recover (quickly!!). Thank you, Dr. Donmez, for being such an amazing person and doctor!
