Patient Reviews
Nov 21, 2018
I was referred to Dr. Deffenbaugh to perform a colonoscopy, but then made a follow up appointment with him to talk about the trouble that led me to get the test in the first place, because thankfully nothing was found, but the problem persisted (constipation related). He took plenty of time to talk things through with me and I felt like he really heard what I was saying. He made suggestions for things to try that have really made things much better. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
