I may have the Medical Assistant's name wrong but I think it was Geraldine. I wanted to check my weight on the way out. She reckonized me and my husband from prior visits to Dr ( ). We were having difficulty with the scale when she happened to pass by and offered to assist. EVERY time we see her she is so very gracious and nice and make's us feel special. Her warm personality is very welcoming.

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
