March 30, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERMy consultation with Dr. Dechet's team, and especially Dr. Dechet provided me with a professional, informative, and reassuring experience for my needs.
March 29, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERDr. Dechet was very kind. He listened to my concerns and explained how we should move forward with my care.
March 27, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERAn excellent medical professional who is honest and direct in his approach. I appreciated this as we discussed my situation. I have a great deal of trust in him and his team in performing my operation.
March 10, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERI didn't get to see Dr Dechet. I saw one of his assistants. I've only met Dr Dechet only once so far in 3 years. However that being said lm aware he is a busy man and the assistants that I do interact with are both courteous and professional and explain things so I can understand. So I rate Dr Dechet with a 10 because the healthcare workers i do speak to are chosen by him and are very professional. I think Dr Dechet is looking out for my best interest so I would recommend him as a Doctor to anyone that asks. Thank you Doctor Dechet
March 09, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERI have been seeing Dr Dechet for my prostate cancer for several years now. I am happy to have him as my doctor and feel that the care I am receiving is excellent.
February 26, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERHe is the best Doctor that I have ever worked with
February 25, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERVery gentle manner, easy to talk with, took the time to explain complex information, excellent job explaining the pros, cons and nuances of the treatment options available, accommodating of my schedule for treatment
February 23, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERBeyond being an incredibly skilled surgeon, Dr. Dechet is genuine and compassionate. He provided clear options to address my prostate cancer and made recommendations based on my individual case. He listened to us and worked with us to come up with a treatment plan that worked for our schedules. He was clear and direct about how a prostatectomy will affect our lives. He was clear about the surgery recovery process emphasizing the need to move but not move too much. I am 4 days out of surgery and feel great; I feel very lucky to be under his care.
February 11, 2025HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTERGreat doctor. To the point and direct. Yet still empathetic.
