Dr Derksen has been out Dr for many many years and also treated my falther in law. He has always been caring and always takes the time to talk to us whether it the reason for the visit or just everyday things with our family. Never once did he make us feel rushed or like he was in too big of a hurry to take the time to make sure we felt important to him. We will truly miss him when he retires. He can never be replaced Thank you Dr Derksen

Dr. Derksen, cares, he takes time to listen and he wants the best for all of my family. He is one of the rare doctors that want to help. Even when we see him out, I would never approach him, but he always says hello and asks how we are. He spends time with each of us, making sure he covered all the base's. I have been a tricky patient and he has not lost his caring attitude. When you have Dr. James Derksen as your physician you know you are getting quality care.
