I've never known a doctor with more expertise in his fields than Dr. Dessain. His caring goes way beyond all expectations. I would go almost anywhere in the world to remain his patient.

He's no longer treating patients. Too bad. He's a great doc. He's very, very smart AND clever. For every patient Dr Dessain decided to treat, there were nine (or more) patients who wanted to be treated by him, but he just did not have the time to treat. So the ONLY way to get him was to be referred by a doctor he knew AND have a history of treatment failures due to no fault of your own with EXCELLENT doctors.
