Dr. DeCesare is a very nice and friendly doctor! He is very thorough and takes his time with you and answers questions. He did a good job but the outcome is not what had been agreed on nor was it what I wanted. 1 of 3 things were fixed. I will be going to a different Dr. to fix the remaining 2 problems. I really wish all 3 things had been fixed as they were addressed prior to surgery.

Dr DeCesare and his staff were very courteous and considerate. This was the first time I had to have a procedure on my face that required closure by a surgeon and I was a little nervous but the doctor took the time to answer my questions and I felt more at ease. My surgery went well and I am very pleased with the way my healing is going. I would highly recommend Dr DeCesare.

Dr. DeCesare and his staff are always exceptional. Regarding professionalism, patient care, and personal service, they are second to none. I suffered a traumatic amputation to my left finger almost one year ago. I have had an excellent experience everytime I have had to visit the office of Dr. DeCesare. Samantha is amazing. They treat me as though I am not just a patient, but someone they genuinely care about. I would highly recommend this office!!

The nurse and the doctor are patient, they listen and hear you. They discuss with you and give you choices and if there is no choice, they tell you why. Smiling, kind, courteous, comfortable. I will go there again should I need his type of services again. A terrific experience!
