I accepted a cancellation appointment based on Vanderbilt's wait list system, after having an appointment elsewhere. I read about Dr Damin prior to my appointment and shirked off the 574 5-star reviews of 574 submissions. Well, count me as the 575th! Upon returning home, I sent a text to my referring PCP highly recommending she refer all of her high risk immunology patients to him.
