Dr. Despain and his staff are outstanding. Every visit w them, although extensive in my case, leaves me feeling that they genuinely care about their information provided to patients, treatment options available and necessary follow-up needed to address whatever skin concerns their patients may have. Dr. Despain is top-notch and I cannot say enough about him or his bedside manner! A+++!
