Patient Reviews
Mar 07, 2023
I recently had my second colonoscopy with Dr. Desta. People give the procedure a bad name. It's not the most fun I've ever had but to not have the exam, well the alternatives are - worse. I'm a lucky one. The Doctor is quiet by nature but caring, confident and reassuring. For all my projected stress I completed the procedure without incident and appear to be fine. I'm grateful to be a patient of Dr. Desta.
