"I cannot thank Lori Hale PA and Dr. Deschner enough. After 8 months of many urgent care, ER, primary care and other GI specialist visits at other places that could not find the problem, in one visit Dr Deschner and Lori ordered the right imaging, got fast results and got me into the ER immediately for the right treatment that by this point was serious and potentially life threatening. Thanks to them and God I’m finally treated, healing and no longer in severe pain or seriously ill. Thank you Dr. Deschner and Lori Hale!!!!!!! You diagnosed accurately and swiftly coordinated my care. Lori was a God-send making sure all my info was coordinated and accessible for the ER surgeon. You are a competent and caring team! I have already boasted about TDDS and my care there to so many people and am willing to drive to San Marcos from west SA for that quality of service."

I was out like a light and wouldn't have heard it anyway! ☺️ I have had one procedure done in two other states, but Dr Deschner was the first doctor who took the time to explain the before and after of my procedures to both me and my son. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was also the first time I had a phone call the next day asking how I am doing. Thank you, Rebecca. 🌝"
