He is the best of the best. He cares very much about and for his patients. He listens carefully, never rushes, and always has good ideas and knowledge about ways to help. He is willing to think outside the box and be innovative. His staff is always efficient, very friendly and kind. I love and thank them all!

I was a patient in St. Vincent's Hospital and my primary doctor asked Dr. Deatkine to see me and treat me for my endocrine problems. When Dr. Deatkine saw me he was the rudest person I had ever had contact with. He spent less than 5 minutes with me as a new patient. He is the absolute worst Doctor I have ever seen. I would NEVER recommend him as a Doctor to anyone. And I never made any follow up appointments to see him in his office. He is the WORST!
