Patient Reviews
Mar 19, 2019
We were referred to Dr. Decou about 4 years ago. Last procedure was November 2018. From the first meeting when we learned our son needed surgery, Dr. Decou and everyone at the office were wonderful! Dr. Decou always took time to walk us through everything. He spoke directly to our son many times over the years, answering questions and ensuring that our son knew what to expect. He is a kind and caring doctor. We are so grateful that Dr. Decou is in the Grand Rapids area to care for our son.
