Exceptional doctor. Very personable.
You feel comfortable being around him.
Quite sure he diagnosed my problem as I feel it is. I will complete his remedy and if it doesn't help, I go back

Dr D’Souza’s practice is a well oiled machine. Wait times are minimal, the technology is top shelf and most importantly, he actually LISTENS. All of my questions were answered and I was never rushed or dismissed.

Dr. D’Souza performed a complex ankle surgery in July. It healed quite well without any real pain. I highly recommend him to anyone needing ankle surgery. He’s also a very nice guy!

Getting X-Rays was quick and efficient (not done by the doctor), however, I went in with suspicion of having a stress fracture in my foot, which typically x-rays do not show.
I was not asked history as far as my activity level, and what I have done to help the pain in my foot. I wasn’t asked what directly hurts my foot or any further diagnostic questions. I was simply advised my combination of CrossFit Training and Running training was not good for my feet and to “decrease the intensity” of my training. I was told to come back if the issue worsened and was not referred any exercises to help address whatever is going on with my foot, nor offered or referred to get an MRI to rule out a possible stress fracture. The appointment was a complete waste of time.

I don't appreciate being threatened by this talented surgeon minutes before my surgery two days before Christmas and after the death of my mother.
