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 Actually Listened!
I have a long history of being given too much anesthesia during surgery because the doctors just give me the amount the 'chart' says for my weight/age despite my explanations. Dr. Diesfeld listened to me in the pre-op consultation and I had the best experience I've ever had with anesthesia. Thank you!

Although she did a great job with my anesthesia -I was unaware that she shared the same last name as my surgeon (husband) so when a small bill kept coming from her office, we ignored because we verified several times that we were paid in full with my OB -her husband-and the account was sent to collections! Instead of giving patients a “heads up” at the time of surgery that there is a SECOND Dr Diesfeld that may be trying to collect and she is legit. A simple communication step that her billing office refuses to address could cause a major scar on your credit

Dr Diesfeld is one of the most caring and knowledgeable physicians I have ever seen. After having been in a dibilatating car accident, most doctors were just throwing medications at my condition. Dr Diesfeld took the time and listened to my concerns and needs. She was able to treat my pain with local injections and treatments that still allowed me quality of life until I could no longer put off surgery. Best doctor ever
