I really liked the doctor. He was real understanding and he recommended I get some blood work, but I think he sent it to the endocrinologist and they're just supposed to send me the papers telling what they wanted me to get done and I'll have to go get a primary doctor to go forward with it. But I really liked him and I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you.

Yes, I thought John Dercola was very informative to me. He listened to me. He checked me. He was explaining things to me, he showed me on the computer screen what he was talking about. They did an EKG. He advised me what that showed, and everything. He was very informative. I was very, very impressed. He took time to listen to me, which a lot of doctors do not do, and he also explained, and any questions I had, he answered them. I was very impressed with everything that happened that day and the, the people that I had seen, and that took me back to the room, etcetera etcetera.

Everyone was exceptional in their care and professionalism. John Dercola read my history and discussed a treatment plan with Dr. Blatt to give me a better quality of life. They both were very familiar with my case. Which is amazing considering their workload. It was much appreciated and they are top notch in their professions.
