    Dr Donigan is wonderful! She makes an unpleasant procedure a most pleasant experience.

    Dr Donovan was so informative while she was taking care of me. That I really appreciated very much.

    I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Donigan perform two MOHS procedures on my face ( hopefully that will be all ) she actually found the second area during my first visit. She is very good at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone for any Derm surgery.
