Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Deschler. He's calm, highly competent and caring. If you're in need of his services, you won't do any better than him. I was fortunate to have him as my surgeon. His entire staff is likewise top notch.

Highly competent, caring, & consistent follow-up
Dr. Deschler is outstanding in the level of care he offers. This was most evident at my original diagnostic, treatment planning, surgery and immediate follow-up. However, over my many follow-ups he has remained consistently caring, engaged, responsive and reassuring. I received several referrals from him elsewhere at MEEI, all of which were excellent. Overall I offer my simplest and most meaningful accolade: Dr. Deschler is a real doctor.

Knowledgeable and Professional
Appointment was timely and Dr Deschler is very knowledgeable, professional. Explained options and when decisions were made, necessary paper work was available. Very positive encounter. Feel very confident with him doing my upcoming surgery.

Extremely Likely
Excellent. Every appointment he was completely helpful explained the surgery in laymen's terms so that I could understand. Very thorough with tests and pictures before making any determination. Both my sister and niece were very impressed with his explanations; they are both in the medical field so were helpful. My procedure was in August of 2021 though.

Poor bedside manner
Went to him for an opinion about a partial laryngectomy for cancer of the supraglottis. The doctor was condescending and had no sensitivity to my feelings. I left his office feeling let down , angry and hopeless (and crying). He didn’t care. I felt like I wanted to end it all right there.

Outstanding physician and gentleman.
Dr. Deschler is an amazing doctor...he listens well... takes the time to explain the diagnosis and treatment with care and concern while making certain you understand the issue at hand. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of state-of-the-art medical attention. His office staff/techs reflect his professional and caring approach interacting with patients.Great team!

If I could leave a zero star I would. MRI 3 weeks Ago. 4 phone calls to them over the course of 3 weeks to get the results. Every time the receptionist acts surprised I hadn’t been contacted yet. Every time I was told I would be called back that day. This is simply unacceptable as we are not talking about a paper cut here. Absolutely would never recommend. I clearly wouldn’t have him perform surgery if needed since a simple call back is this difficult. At this point there is nothing they can say to correct this pure and utter lack of care. Still do not know the results!

Ongoing post surgical care in the best of hands.
Dr. Deschler performed surgery to remove a tumor at my parotid gland two years ago. The healing progress of my face has been fantastic. I could not have been more pleased with the surgery, the surgical staff (including the anesthesiologist) and the ongoing care by Dr. Deschler and his staff. I truly feel well cared for and respected. It is a pleasure to visit - not something I normally feel when it comes to medical visits - but that is the case at MEE and specifically during my appointments. My gratitude for such caring professionals is endless.

Top head & neck surgeon, highly recommended by several MEEI and MGH physicians. Personable, friendly, no nonsense approach inspires confidence. Have been a loyal and grateful patient for 10 years. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of incredibly long waiting room time - sometimes an hour beyond the scheduled appointment. Otherwise, highly recommended.
