Patient Reviews

Mar 25, 2022

I see that reviews have been left in regards to lengthy wait times, and I need to comment on this. I was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer Oct 20, 2005. I was in the North Little Rock Baptist Hospital when diagnosed and became Dr. Desikan’s patient. My family and I thank God everyday for putting him into our lives. I was given the maximum of 2 years to live. I was 41 at diagnosis, I am now 58. It was not an easy fight and I wouldn’t go through it again with any other doctor. They try to schedule the active chemo patients in the mornings. Once I went into remission, I too was having to wait for hours for my appointment, I am ashamed to say that I became very aggravated and annoyed. Until one day it clicked, when I was first diagnosed, I was so appreciative that he took the time to explain EVERYTHING that was happening and what could happen. INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING TRY TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING THAT SOMEONE IS PROBABLY GETTING THE AWFUL NEWS THAT THEY HAVE CANCER….
