She barely spent any time with me. It was obvious she wanted to get in and out.
I felt very comfortable.
Professional and kind offered me relief from my pain right away
She is an exceptional doctor.
Dr. DeComas was kind, professional and knowledgeable. Her schedule was running late, but she took her time with me, explained everything clearly and didn’t make me feel rushed. Much appreciated.
Very very very nice doctor and informative and humble .
She’s super cares about her patience. She tells you exactly what to expect. She doesn’t leave you wandering what’s next. Surgeons like her don’t come around every day.

I did not see Dr. DeComas. I saw her fellow but unfortunately, I can't remember his name. He was excellent. He was extremely caring, very knowledgeable and skilled, and had great bedside manner. He took the time to share and answer all my questions.
