Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about her. Already recommended her to multiple friends.

Great Doctor
Dr. DeSano was wonderful in every way possible. She listened to my concerns and helped me to understand what was going on. She explains things well and I felt very well supported and listened to. She was recommended by a friend of mine after I wanted to find a new provider. She was amazing and I will be referring my friends and family to her in the future.

Dr. Desano delivered my baby in November 2018 and I have been seeing her for the last four years for my female needs. She placed several IUD's for me as well as annual exams. She has always taken great care of me during and after my pregnancies. She cares about my feelings and explained everything that was going on very well. Very impressed!

She was wonderful. Dr. DeSano was recommend by a friend of mine who had seen Dr. DeSano for all of her pregnancies and loved her. From my first visit though the birth of my child I always felt like I was in great hands. She is very knowledgable and caring. She took the time with me when I needed more support and I will always be grateful to her for that. I wouldn't see anyone else for my care and highly recommend her.

I’m sure she’s knowledgeable, but I was unfortunately really disappointed with my experiences with her. Acted as though I was wasting her time when I asked about a concern with how much I was bleeding. Also told me that I was not in pain instead of asking (I was in pain). Didn’t feel like I was receiving health ‘care’, instead was just another patient being rushed out of appointments

Dr. DeSano is one of my favorite doctors. From the first time I met her I knew that this would be a great experience. I was so nervous and she took extra time to make sure all of my questions were answered and walk me through the process. She was referred to me by multiple friends that had her with their pregnancies and now I know why. She is amazing and I am so happy to have found a doctor like Dr. DeSano

Dr. Desano is no doubt a wonderful doctor, however, she is very busy and the visits feel slightly impersonal. Plan on a 20+ minute wait at each visit and also expect to be hurried out of the office. She provides wonderful information but she speaks so quickly that it's difficult to process it all!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Desano?
She is inconsistent in her medical advice. She told me when she delivered my 3rd child that my uterus was thin and that I would need to deliver at 38 weeks with my next child. I was scheduled to deliver at 38 weeks with my 4th child and she calls me 3 days before my scheduled c section to tell me that I needed to wait until 39 weeks. When I reminded her of what she had previously said, she replied, "I never would have said that."
