I would like to say Thank you to Dr Adeso for being so prompt with his medical care, I was very anxious about the stomach pains i was having and Dr. Adeso addressed my complaint right away by sending me for an examination of my stomach. I'm awaiting my results, and if everything is alright i will be owing all to Dr. Adeso.

Dr. Adeso was prompt and courteous. He answered all of my (many!) questions, and I didn't feel rushed as he talked with me. He explained all of my options, and I didn't feel pressured into getting gallbladder removal surgery. I ended up electing to get the procedure. Dr. Adeso met with me before the surgery, and he was very calm and reassuring. He did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Adeso if you are having problems w/ your gallbladder. I am so happy I went to him.

I was very pleased with my recent visit to Dr. Adeso. He was very attentive and quite the professional that I expected. Should there be any future illness that may require his expertise, then I would certainly seek him to administer the care that I might need. He has a very pleasant "bedside manner!"

I had a meeting to discuss my gall bladder surgery with Dr. Adeso. He explained the procedure and what to expect in great detail. He answered all my questions, and I did not feel rushed throughout the process. He made me feel very relaxed and confident about his abilities.

I had to have emergency surgery and Dr. Adeso was called in. He and his team were absolutely wonderful. They took the time to explain everything and answered all questions that I had. While it was a scary situation, Dr. Adeso was extremely calm and reassuring. He visited every day in the hospital and all of the nurses had praise for him. That speaks volumes!
