February 05, 2024HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERI am an MD. Dr Deacon is one of the best physicians I have encountered. He is an excellent listener and he asked good questions to clarify about things I had not considered. He did a thorough exam (something many physicians these days have forgotten how to do). He explained his thought process in detail in a way I could understand and he was patient with my questions. And most impressively he 1. checked my insurance formulary to guide his prescription choice (first physician I have seen do that) and recommended good rx for meds he could not find an equivalent on the formulary and 2. he closely tracked my prior use of biologic medications for psoriatic arthritis that had not been effective to recommend a possible more effective treatment plan and reached out to my rheumatologist to coordinate care plans for the future. Amazingly comprehensive all on my first visit. 10++++
February 05, 2024HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERDr Deacon did a good job of teaching while still addressing my concerns and taking care of me as a patient.
