Dr. Deschner was EXTREMELY helpful during this visit. He thoroughly explained my options for treatment and patiently responded to questions. He shared a lot of valuable information from his considerable knowledge of my disease and its treatment options. Most importantly, he took the time to help me reason through the decision on my next step in treatment. I am very thankful to have Dr. Deschner as my medical specialist.
