Dr. Dechet injected my wrist with a steroid and before doing so, warned me that it would be a very painful experience. I was thankful of the warning as without it, I truly believe the experience would have been much worse.

Dr Dechet was very prof3essional. She listened to me and then ordered x-rays to better see the problems with the knee. She showed me those x-rays and explained what she saw and proposed a treatment plan to reduce the swelling and inflammation and pain.
