Patient Reviews
Aug 28, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr. Depersio for over 30 years I consider him the most knowledgeable about my unique hearing loss. I started with him in the old St. Mary's, other than a period of time he didn't accept my insurance, he's been my doctor. I am very pleased with him, and trust him.
