Sep 2024The staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Deschner was amazing. He spent a long time with us ( my husband came with me ). He explained everything we had questions about in great detail. He’s one smart cookie. If I end up needing surgery, I would hope Dr. Deschner would be the one to do it. I am so thankful I was referred to him !
