Dr. D delivered my son in 2012. Every appointment he made sure he addressed all my questions and concerns. He never rushed through my appointments like some do. If I still lived in the area, I would use him again. I highly recommend!

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Joseph Desautels. I am a young woman who was new to the area and he is one of the best doctors I have ever had. Dr. Desautels is not only a wonderful doctor but he also made me feel very comfortable. I was not afraid to ask questions and he did not make me feel rushed. I will make him my permanent doctor and couldn't have had a better experience.

I have been a patient of this man for about 9 years. He has seen me through the death of my first child born prematurely, the birth of my 2nd born prematurely and my hysterectomy, and another surgery to correct damage done from my pregnancies. he also operated on me at 25 weeks pregnant to help extend my pregnancy to close to term as possible. He is one of the smartest doctor's I have had the priviledge of knowing and truly cares for your well being. I have had the honor of being taken care of by each doctor at this practice and they are wonderful. Not so much for the support staff but these doctors are extremely proficent supporting and give 110% to their paitents.
