Dr. Deschner was very patient and took his time discussing my issues and how he wanted to treat them. As a matter of fact, I’ve not felt this good in 2 years since I started taking medicine he prescribed.
Very informative and helpful
Dr. Deschner and the nursing staff made the experience tolerable.

As unpleasant as a colonoscopy can be, Dr. Deschner and his wonderful and efficient staff made it easy and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Thankfully no problems were found and I will not have to have any follow-up treatments. Thank you to the entire TTDD staff.
Dr Deschner was charming, real & thorough! The team of nurses were kind too. In light of the biopsy report though I think I should get another colonoscopy in 2 years not 3.
Excellent personal at every phase doctor Deschner is wonderful
