Dr. Derwenskus is a great doctor and worth waiting for. I did recommend her to my own daughter and we both drive 2 hours to see her. Her staff is great and she surrounds herself with good people and she refers you to great doctors as well. I trust her greatly and am very happy with the care she provides for me.
