Reviews

Dr. Deschner has been my doctor for many years now. He is the most compassionate doctor I have ever experienced. I have had gut issues for a while now and was sent to numerous different doctors and they all couldn’t find anything. Each one would push me to another doctor only to find the same result. Dr. Deschner never gave up on me an he has nailed down a large portion of my problem and is treating me for it. I wished we had more doctors like him.

I appreciate Dr. Deschner's no nonsense approach, and really, really appreciate him going the less expensive route before doing invasive testing.
