Dismissive and provided guidance rooted in racial bias medical stereotyping instead of evidence based practice related to my Black daughter's needs.

Dr Savage was amazing! He clearly cares for the children deeply and has their very best interest at heart. He supports the parent's choice with regards to vaccines, which is almost unheard of in the medical industry. We truly appreciate him!

We had a wonderful experience with this doctor at our children’s pediatric office. He was extremely friendly and immediately made both me and my children feel comfortable. He was great with the kids patient, kind, and engaging in a way that really helped ease any nerves. He took his time, answered all of my questions, and made sure we understood everything clearly before we left. We never felt rushed. I’m very thankful for the care he provided and would highly recommend him to other families.

Dr. Savage was very patient kind and gentle when speaking with my daughter. He took an active interest in her as a person not just a patient. This was the first time my daughter was happy with her visit with her pediatrician! She requested that we see him again.

Dr. Don Savage, M.D., is a Buckeye at heart, with a 15-year stop in Florida before finally settling in Camden, South Carolina, with his wife, Chrissy. He spent 25 years in general pediatrics and hospital administration in Findlay, Ohio, while moonlighting in numerous pediatric urgent cares. The move to Florida included a short stint in general pediatrics, then, most recently, eleven years in pediatric urgent care as a provider and managing four locations.
This final move brings him near his oldest daughter, Tiffany, and her family, who have settled here after years stationed in Japan, and near his youngest daughter, Carly, a freshman at Clemson. His two sons, Tim, a pediatrician, and John, a recruiter, reside in Columbus, Ohio. Additionally, a daughter, Caitlin, is in Cleveland, and a son, Carson, is at the University of South Florida. His two golden retrievers, Huey and Winston, complete his family, which, along with the humans, are his greatest joys!
Don attended college and medical school at Ohio State University and completed his residency at Nationwide Children's Hospital. In his spare time, he can be found on a golf course, on a cruise ship, or in the kitchenmaking a mess baking cookies. Go Buckeyes (#1), Go Cleveland Browns (#2), and Go Clemson Tigers (#3).
