Patient reviews

Amazing!
"Enlightened me about my condition and treatment options."
BEWARE OF THIS “dr”
"Do NOT trust this doctor. She betrayed her client (my dear friend) to the detriment of her health & well-being. No wonder we never saw any other patients at her office. My friend was only her patient about 8 months & saw “Dr” Degnon only a few times. My friend was happy & doing well in her own home with a wonderful live-in aid. This “Dr” Degnon was so cruel to my friend & had her taken from her happy home to another state & put into a facility where no one could visit her or find out how she is. She is a cruel person and was so calloused towards my friend & her well-being. This “dr” forced my friend to leave her home, where she was safe & happy. She showed no compassion for my friend. It is all about money to her BEWARE OF THIS HORRID PERSON ""
Unlike a typical practice where you are just a number.
"By far the best doctor's office experience I've had - definitely unlike a typical practice where you are just a number. No other doctor has ever spent as much time listening to my issues as Dr. Degnon has."
