I absolutely love Dr. Decena. She always makes me feel at ease. I was really nervous going there the first time and once I met her and she explained everything to me I felt so much better. I wish all doctors could be as caring as she is. Top notch for sure!!!

After dealing with severe stomach pains for over three decades, the doctors were finally able to find out what was causing my distress. It was a twist in my intestines, which was successfully operated on, and I’ve yet to experience any complication, and a month later I need to have surgery again, due to a hernia which was successfully operated on also . After the two operations, I am free of any pain and I’m very grateful that they found what was causing the problem that had me an agony for decades.
