Patient Reviews
Nov 14, 2023
Early in the Covid Pandemic, I move my parents , both in their 90's to my home in Kansas City. Dr. Deffenbaugh helped me in their care tremendously. Dr. Deffenbaugh shared her own experiences with me regarding caring and loving elderly parents She is now my Doctor and is helping me navigate thru some medical issues. She listens, checks up, follows up and is empathetic. I feel blessed to have had her as my parents caregiver and now as mine.
