Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2024
Initially saw Dr. Desmond at another facility for a knee problem several years ago. Received great care and quick resolution. Started experiencing some hip issues and learned that he left the previous facility. It took some doing but was able to find him at Temple. Once again, a great experience with him. He listens, takes the time to explain the treatment plan and what to expect. A really nice guy and a great physician. Highly recommend.
