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.

Dr DeCandis is one of the most genuine person and Dr. I've ever encountered, he actually cares and listens to his patients.

Gretest Doctor
I am very pleased with Doc "D", he takes the ti.e to explain what he is doing and ensures I understand his instructions. He is diligently working with me on my diabetes, and othe health issues, I was previously on Lisinopril for blood pressure, Doc "D" realized that I had been taking it for over 20 years, a d suggested that we try something else as Lisinopril is not good for your kidneys. He changed me to Hydrochlorothazide and I am happy with my BP numbers.

I was seeing Dr Decantis in Daytona Beach and was thrilled to have him as my doctor, he is an amazing doctor and I have seen many over the years since I broke my back in 2002 but the office transferred him to another facility and after seeing the doctor that took his place Dr Benitez well on my second visit to gim all I can say is he is a joke to the medical field, and patients and doctors are under oath to help people he has absolutely NO intentions of helping patients who truly need it. I have a broken back L5-S1 had spinal fusion in 2007 I have 2 broken screws and many other problems and I was denied ssi and ssdi, have no insurance because I cant afford $400 a month, and am only able to work part time due to my medical conditions and this new doctor Benitez treated me like I was nobody wouldnt say hardly anything to me and he could care less. I WISH DR DECANTIS WAS STILL IN DAYTONA BEACH!!
