How likely are you to recommend Dr. Decker?
Dr. Decker performed a parathyroidectomy on me in November of 2015. First off, you can NOT even see the scar on my throat. She did an exceptional job. Beyond perfect. Second, I was misdiagnosed for about 15 years with Hyperparathyroidism - when I brought my lab work to her and my symptoms she scheduled surgery the next week. It was life changing. Her bedside manner, pre-op, post-op, follow-up care are beyond anything I have ever experienced and I have worked in the medical field for 15+ years. I highly recommend Dr. Decker.
