I had a very bad fall down a steep driveway due to pine needles creating a slippery slope that I was not able to control my momentum and get traction with my shoes. Dr. McDermott cleaned my wounds of dirt, debris and torn skin, informed me what she was doing and helped prepare me for some of the more uncomfortable parts. She skillfully patched me back together using her many years of expertise. Dr McDermott is caring and compassionate and feel lucky that she was the doctor on call at the Immediate Care in Malibu.

The Dr. weeded though my (meandering) complaints and laid out a plan to investigate my gut. That wasn’t what I was thinking that was going on. But that’s not the first time I heard such a suggestion. Also, highly likely there are two issues going on.

Dr. McDermitt is like a Dr that you would see in a Lifetime movie. She is warm, kind, compassionate, funny, cute, and all the warm and fuzzy things that you could think of. I have been wrangling this bad sinus infection for over a week. It has been a bad fight and I know it showed. I know that things will be better soon because I got my prescription filled immediately and started before I left the shopping center. Thank you Dr McDermott ??
