I visited the FOI facility on August 28th and was seen by Dr. Michael Doarn He is a phenomenal physician who truly cares about his patients. Dr. Dorian is very knowledgeable and takes the time to clearly explain exam findings and answer any questions with plenty of helpful information. I went in with pain and left feeling comfortable and much better in a short amount of time. I’m very thankful to have a doctor of this caliber. Thank you again to Dr. Doarn wonderful and most of all thank you for your time and the blessing of your skills.
