Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2019
Dr. Decker performed a parathyroidectomy on me in November of 2015. First off, you can NOT even see the scar on my throat. She did an exceptional job. Beyond perfect. Second, I was misdiagnosed for about 15 years with Hyperparathyroidism - when I brought my lab work to her and my symptoms she scheduled surgery the next week. It was life changing. Her bedside manner, pre-op, post-op, follow-up care are beyond anything I have ever experienced and I have worked in the medical field for 15+ years. I highly recommend Dr. Decker.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
