THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH DR. DELSERRA IS HE MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ANY OTHER DR. TO MEET THE HIGH LEVEL OF EXPECTATIONS FOR PATIENT CARE. I ONLY WISH HE COULD PROVIDE ME WITH ALL LEVELS OF MY MEDICAL CARE. HE IS BY FAR THE BEST DR. I HAVE EVER HAD. HE FAR EXCEEDS ANY AND ALL EXPECTATIONS I COULD EVER HAVE REGADING MY MEDICAL CARE. HIS STAFF WAS VERY RESPECTFUL AND HELPFUL. I WOULD AND DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. DELSERRA TO ANYONE HAVING SURGERY.

Dr Delserra was my surgeon years ago. I was in so much pain, that I went to the emergency room. He did surgery on me and I was able to go home. A year later, I had to have a hysterectomy. I went to see Dr. Delserra and he agreed to be at my surgery, as a secondary doctor. He is Simply The Best!!!!

Took care of me when several surgeons told me they would not. On my road to recovery. He is a caring and excellent doctor.

An incredibly intelligent, honest and humble individual who explains information in a caring manner. Takes the time to ensure patient truly understands the condition and options available. Highly recommend this surgeon.

Dr. Delserra is an excellent doctor. He became my surgeon because of an emergency situation. Upon meeting him he set my mind at ease. Took the time to talk with me and even a little joking around. He made me feel that I was important to him, not just a pay check. I'm grateful I was reffered to him.
