Dr. Desselle is not only an excellent surgeon, but he is also very patient in talking with and making sure that his patient understands his/her diagnosis and treatment plan. He also calls back very quickly in the case of an after hours concern. Yes, you may have to wait to see him past your scheduled appointment time, but that is because he isn't rushing through his patients. Any wait is well worth it.

I would highly recommend Dr Deselle, he saved my life, more than once. I was new to Alabama when I suffered diverticulitis, and almost lost my life, he has done 4 major surgeries on me n less than 2 yrs. He is a gifted and awesome surgeon, not to mention a wonderful caring Doctor.
