June 14, 2018Eric M.Verified patient
Haven't been to the doctor in a long while, as I haven't felt sick, and I'm not generally a fan of the whole experience. Dr. DeSouza was kind and professional, but more importantly, she took the time to fully address each of my concerns and talked out her reasoning for her treatment. She made sure I was onboard with the plan, and I appreciated that.
January 31, 2018Michael C.Verified patient
I couldn’t ask for a better doctor. Dr. DeSouza was the best doctor I have ever had. She is so nice and makes you feel comfortable through your visit and those difficult moments. Her staff is unbelievably sweet and kind from reception through check out. Her assistant is there to guide you through the process with a sweet and friendly attitude. When I left the office I felt as if I had made the right choice in chosing this doctor and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you all for your excellent customer service.
January 26, 2018Angie B.Verified patient
Amazing personality--not just Dr. de Souza, but her entire staff. As a new patient, the doctor took plenty of time to go through my records and concerns. Her nurse was comforting and great at administering my tetanus booster with minimal pain. The entire office felt like home from the moment I walked in. It's a bit of a drive for me, but a friend highly recommended her. Now I know why!
December 1, 2017Jenna D.Verified patient
Dr De Souza was delightful, personable and took the time to get to know me as a new patient. I felt that she was interested in my past history and even provided information in regard to my questions. As a new patient I can say that Dr. De Souza made me comfortable from the start. I highly recommend Dr. De Souza. She was professional with a great physician to patient manner. Her exam was thorough and pleasant. I look forward to being a patent of hers.
September 5, 2017Pamela L.Verified patient
Dr. De Souza and her office staff were wonderful! I have never had a doctor take my vitals before, but she did it. She did my weight, height, blood pressure, etc... She probably spent 20 minutes with me, getting to know all about me and my health. She listened well and was friendly and personable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a PCP.
