“Dr. D and Christina are absolutely amazing! I've been a patient for over 15 years, and I can honestly say their care has been life-saving. Dr. D always takes the time to listen, never rushes, and genuinely works to find solutions that help. Christina is just as compassionate and knowledgeable--together they make an incredible team. I'm beyond grateful for the care and support I've received. Highly recommend!”

“After 14 years suffering in pain going to 7 different doctors (none of them could find the problem) I finally met Dr. Diesfeld- he said he would help me figure it out which we finally did. I have multiple pain issues that he helps me with, through medication & different therapies/solutions. He never makes me feel rushed and listens to me. He is very knowledgeable & keeps me aware of meds that have long term side effects, as well as other meds that might be better for long term use. The staff is laid back & friendly. They also incorporate medicinal cannabis/CBD for pain as well. I appreciate the laid back atmosphere & professionalism that I receive here & recommend highly”

“I went to this clinic in late August, and after being made fun of by the nurses (my native Spanish speaker partner overheard them call me inutil, or useless for forgetting my ID) had what initially felt like a productive meeting with Dr. Diesfeld. He recommended a list of potential medications he could prescribe, and sent them to my PCP. My PCP received the list, but none were within his specialty to prescribe himself. I called back and forth for over a month, having the staff gatekeep, and finally getting ahold of Dr. Diesfeld to figure out a solution and way to prescribe the medication. I explained the problems I ran into getting HIS recommended medications prescribed, and also his staff making cruel jokes at my expense. He informed me it was likely because the nurses saw alcohol in my urine. He told me I "pissed straight vodka into the cup."I reminded him I drank the night before and no other night that month. He deflected and promised to talk to my PCP. He called my PCP, (lied about previously trying to reach out to his clinic according to my PCP) and when my PCP asked Dr. Diesfeld why I hadn't received treatment over a month in a half after an appointment for my un-managed chronic pain, which has been ruining my life? He said he made it clear to me he wasn't treating me due to my substance issues, citing marijuana and alcohol in my urine. During the appointment he notably agreed marijuana shouldn't be considered substance abuse in the way I was using it, nor did he raise any concern when I told him I will drink one or two beers sometimes, or especially the night before. My PCP even vouched for my substance use, or rather that it was irrelevant to treating me, and that nothing was pointing to me being an addict. After speaking with my doctor, he called me, and attempted to re-contextualize everything he told my doctor. Between Dr. Diesfeld and my PCP, I am trusting the one that doesn't typecast me as a drug seeking doctor hopper. If you have to go to this clinic, make sure you cleanse yourself of any substance they deem offensive, legal or not, come with everything necessary, and look as proper and clean cut as you can, or you should languish in their eyes.”
