Dr Deriso and his team are kind and go the extra mile to make us comfortable as patients.

May 1, 2026

Dr. Deriso is a providential straight-shooter who leaves his ego at the door to focus entirely on the person in front of him. When a case is more complex than a conundrum and defies the "textbook" rules, he digs in his heels with a tenacity that is as rare as it is relentless. Whether he is "breaking out the crayons" to ensure total clarity or collaborating with peers to find a way forward, he respects his patients' voices and treats his calling as a sacred duty. ?He is an irreplaceable Godsend who possesses the skill of a master and the heart of a servant. I would, without a shadow of a doubt, trust him with the lives of everyone I know and love.

April 30, 2026

Comfort the nurse that greeted me and did my EKG was so pleasant and friendly. She helped me calm down before my blood pressure test. She was great. Also, I love my Heart Doctor as well. He is very thorough and really cares. I love this practice.

I thought Dr. Deriso seemed knowledgeable about my condition. He was able to look at my test results with me and show me some things on my heart monitor study. He seemed genuinely concerned about my health. He also looked into my family history. He also did a complete exam. He didn't rush and answered all of my questions as well as both of my daughter's questions. All in all I was satisfied with the care that he provided. I couldn't help but wonder, is this service going to be continued or was this service great because it was my first visit? I look forward to continuing to trust my care to Dr. Deriso and Wellstar.

Comfort the nurse that greeted me and did my EKG was so pleasant and friendly. She helped me calm down before my blood pressure test. She was great. Also, I love my Heart Doctor as well. He is very thorough and really cares. I love this practice.

Dr. Deriso is a providential straight-shooter who leaves his ego at the door to focus entirely on the person in front of him. When a case is more complex than a conundrum and defies the "textbook" rules, he digs in his heels with a tenacity that is as rare as it is relentless. Whether he is "breaking out the crayons" to ensure total clarity or collaborating with peers to find a way forward, he respects his patients' voices and treats his calling as a sacred duty. ?He is an irreplaceable Godsend who possesses the skill of a master and the heart of a servant. I would, without a shadow of a doubt, trust him with the lives of everyone I know and love.

They listen. If I have concerns they listen. If I want more information they get it for me. I have been a patient here a long time and will go no where else.
