I was back again last week with my special needs son. He had an acute infection. Once again, Dr. Decker did an excellent job. He is knowledgeable and is an excellent physician. Dr. Decker recommended that my son follow up with a podiatrist. MY son's infection was resolved until I take him to the podiatrist. Inspira made an excellent choice in hiring Dr. Decker. Make sure that he stays at this location. Hint,Hint!

I always come here. It's usually busy so if you can, check in online and show up when it recommends to save yourself the wait. All of the staff, in the office and the physicians, are always kind and professional. I've been here for personal and workers comp claims and they treat me with the same level of care either way.
