Ultimate Professional Caring!
Super efficient... great surgeon ... thank you Dr DeComas..
Dr DeComas was pleasant as always. But seems agitated when I asked for clarification on a work status report her PA provided in October. Not sure what that was all about but ok. I’ve only been asking for this for almost 6 months. She continues to be a great Doc. And very skilled and knowledgeable of her profession.
Easy to talk to. Kind snd informative
She was awesome I’m looking forward to getting my hip done
Excellent service.
She is insightful and always “present” “”during our discussions/my questions.
Actually saw dr.woods. she was great.
The staff was wonderful. Very kind and considerate. The doctor was professional and up front with my situation.
From consultation to recovery from my hip surgery, I never had any doubts I was in excellent hands with Dr DeComas and her support staff. With them having their own surgery clinic, the process was amazingly efficient and I went home that night.
