The doctor took three years to send a correct bill. When I called the billing person told me it could take up to six years. What a nightmare. Go somewhere else. I wish I did.

Finally, after suffering from many years of painful trigeminal neuralgia, I am pain free. It has changed my life and I’m so grateful to feel good again. Thank you !!! My family thanks you, too!

I have been seeing Dr. Diesfield for my neck and back pain. Dr. Diesfield and his staff have been very helpful from the day one. I am grateful for his brilliant ideas that he came up with to speed up my recovery for Bell’s Palsy as well. It was easy and fast to set up my first appointment. Totally recommend!
