Wonderful staff and facility…Everyone was so professional and comforting! From the time you walk in until the time you leave, you are taken care of so well and everything is explained to you so thoroughly. The staff and Dr Long make the whole procedure not so bad! That said, I’m hoping I won’t be back until my next check-up! Highly recommend this well-run facility!
Very pleasant and comfortable. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Nurse James especially
Excellent systems. Medical staff is technically excellent, informative, accessible and responsive to patient needs. Nursing staff is excellent, highly competent. Intake & administrative is efficient & effective. I am very confident entrusting my medical care to DCDC over the last 15 years with Dr Lobis, Hacker, and my current physician, Dr Fred DePalma. I live in Maine but travel to DCDC because of their excellence. Very appreciative having DCDC & DrDePalma as a medical provider. When they say “we’ll take good care of you”, they mean it and they do!

The entire staff was very professional and courteous. The procedure was done in a timely manner without any issues or complications. Prior to the procedure I was told what would be done and how long it would take. I was given the results soon after the procedure and was asked if I had any questions. Excellent bedside manner from everyone.
