I rarely take the time to complain about services, but I have been shocked by this man’s unprofessional, uncaring and rude behavior. He acts irritated to be there, makes very little eye contact and seems to have no concern about my health and well-being. I am going to look for another primary care doctor through the VA system, hopefully a private doctor.

Only takes the word of lowest foreign-trained nurses who are not U.S. citizens. Overwhelmed by VA paperwork. He only is VA medically trained with the absolute minimal education and a lack of experience (rubber stamper). A narrow-minded nonprofessional. Disgraceful past, running away from another state. Bad reputation in the Springs as well, since 2011. Avoids seeing patients at all costs. Rude and non-caring. Sucks up to the VA Union Members. Misdiagnosis patients frequently. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A dOCTOR. ??

Dr. John Decelles has been my primary family GP for 13 years. In this time, Dr. Decelles earned my respect as a personable, yet direct, but also caring Doctor. He is always honest, and tells it up front and keeps it real. He has been a great family Doctor. I trust my life with him. I would recommend him to everyone.

When this Dr. first came to this area he seemed to care about his patients and was much friendlier, however over the years he has become very cold and rushed and barely even makes eye contact with his patients during a consultation. This is why I myself and also my family members have chosen to find other primary care providers. This really saddens me to have to say, but maybe if someone sees this it will come to light before anyone else leaves and he may be able to improve his attitude towards his patients. I wish him well.
