She ruined my life. For the past 15 years my health has deteriorated due to her care. I walked into Moffitt cancer center with no problems and ended up spending 3 months there until I was not vomiting any more. My story is long so I won't bore you with all of the details just to say that she told me I could live off of TPN (nutrition through my veins) for the rest of my life. Mind you when I went under her care, they found after the procedure she performed that I the first doctor who took care of me had managed to remove all of the carcinoma. Her words were prophecy as I do live on TPN and am waiting for a 5 organ transplant. much more to say just giving you a warning.

Dr. Dessureault is a real "human being" and is someone a patient can feel free to ask questions and not feel as if they're just a number in an appointment book. She listens and she cares as well as being deserving of a #1 rating in expertise. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to her after my refusing to continue with 3 other surgeons due to their lack of compassion.

I was very impressed with Dr. Dessureault's professionalism and also how professional her staff is.I was referred to her by two different doctors. I was told in advance that it may take a couple of months to get in to see her, because she is one of the best in her field.She was worth the wait!!!
