Patient Reviews
Sep 19, 2022
Had aortic valve replacement surgery. Was impressed that Dr. Deschner personally called me at home following discharge to check on my progress. Explains answers to all questions so you can easily understand them. Not in a rush when first communicating with a patient. Excellent interaction with family especially after a follow-up surgery became necessary for a medical problem as he kept them informed about what was going to happen and my condition.
