I have been a patient of Dr. DeAtkine, for many years and have always held him in the highest esteem. He is one of the most considerate,if not the most considerate, doctors I have ever been in contact with. If there is a new med that he feels will be better for me there is no hesitation at all in taking this step. The kindnesses of both he and his staff will always be remembered by myself… See more

David tries hard to maintain his own health and fitness therefore showing by example how we should strive to follow his example to a more fit and healthy body!! Thanks for the prescriptions and advice!
Dr. DeAtkine took me in when no other doctor wanted to be bothered. He listened compassionately to my story and my symptoms and BELIEVED me, when so many had not. I have had a number of health issues over the past few years and he is always available, kind and helpful. He has an enormous amount of patience and wisdom and I trust and appreciate him and his wonderful staff so much. THANK YOU… See more
Dr. DeAtkine and his staff are very caring, knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to help with our health needs. We know we are good hands with our Dr. and his staff.
Imagine a doctor that slows down and sincerely asks you about how you are doing . . . and how your wife is doing . . . and how your parents are doing. And truly listens. And then acts. That is Dr. DeAtkine. He is a throwback to an earlier age of family doctors, but armed with a clear sense of modern practice and possibility.
Both Rita and I have complete confidence in Dr. DeAtkine as he balances our health needs. Over the years, he has not only served as our doctor but had become a friend.
We salute Dr. DeAtkine on this special day.
Thanks Doc!
Being patients of Dr. DeAtkine has been a real blessing in our lives!
My story is DrDeAtkine is always available to meet any of my needs. He is very personal always asking about my family I deeply appreciate and trust his advice. His staff is also the very very best !!
