Dr Dessent and his staff
May 6, 2026
I have been a patient at this office for more than 50 years and have greatly enjoyed the attention I have received. What made visit special is that it was after hours and I had no transportation. No problem, the office furnished the transportation through Lyft at no cost to me. When I got to the office, I was greeted by an MDN and a Nurse Practitioner.Immediately certain tests were done to rule out certain illnesses. Then I had a careful examination by Dr. Dessent whom I had never met. A plan of treatment was planned including medicine and a chest X-ray. I was very pleased with the quality of care I received especially when it was after the office had closed for th day

Nurse asst wonderful as well! Thankful that Dr Dessent was kind enough to fit Larry into his schedule. We will transfer to him as our primary doctor. Dr Margaret [ ] would not take Larry in until 4/28 & he was a critical patient & she was our primary Dr since she started here. Very disappointed in her & to not even message us! Very unprofessional!

The Nurse checking my Vitals in the Examing Room making sure she recorded my medical information accurately. Also, Dr. Joseph Dessent in being very understanding about my delay with getting my bloodwork completed. I'm getting it done on March 30th at Cape Coral Hospital.

Dr. Dessent is bright, kind and professional.I could not ask for more of a provider.
Mar 11, 2026
Eva at the reception desk is always so sweet and helpful. The MA for my appointment was super helpful in tracking down a PA issue with one of my meds. Dr. Dessent and his shadow NP were super receptive, listened to me and answered every single question I had. Dr. Dessent always makes me feel like we are a team by listening and understanding my thoughts and opinions. I know if he stresses the importance of something that isn't necessarily something I would prefer that it really is what is best for me. I leave every annual checkup feeling good about what we discussed.
