Dr. Decena always listens very carefully and never rushes with her appointments. She takes her time and allows me the time to voice any concerns and ask any questions. It is also wonderful that she herself completes the exam. So many physicians nowadays do not even care to lay a finger on you. Her manner assures me of her competence and knowledge. She is excellent!! I feel she is the perfect physician for my needs.

I absolutely love Dr. Decena. She always makes me feel at ease. I was really nervous going there the first time and once I met her and she explained everything to me I felt so much better. I wish all doctors could be as caring as she is. Top notch for sure!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Decena since the beginning of 2021 and I have always been pleased with my level of care. Dr. Decent has always been understanding and is willing to do whatever she can to help. Her and her staff are always friendly and welcoming. The office is fast with responding and accommodating when it come to appointments. I highly recommend this office!
