Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Listens very well
He is absolutely wonderful in the way he actually listens to his patients. He has performed two surgeries on me and always makes me feel like I'm his only patient. He is extremely intelligent, capable and kind. His level of caring for his patients is unmatched. I'm so thankful he is my surgeon.

He did a great job!
I needed an emergency surgery, and Dr. Dessecker was terrific. I have some other issues that make surgery complicated and he addressed them very carefully. After surgery I was back to life in no time flat.

One of the best
He did surgery on me December 28, 2021. He actually came to the hospital I was at. When I told him I was scared of those doctors and didn't want them to see me, it happened. The surgery went flawlessly.

Highly recommend him to anyone I meet!
He is one of the best doctors I have ever been to. Very patient and explains everything. Very compassionate. He is knowledgeable and gives you a sense of security. His staff is just as nice as they can be.
