June 30, 2026
All works well here. Not a blip from valet parking to check in to waiting for doctor to arrive. The intake nurse was thorough and friendly. Dr Decker was spot on. From explaining the “cat scan” , to listening to my comments and questions and responding to them. In other words “he knows what he is talking about”. It appeared that he understood and sympathized with my post surgery issues. He never criticized my surgeon; that’s my job. So I left feeling that Dr Decker was intellectually advanced, secure in his position at U of FL, and truly cared about me. I laugh because he did not understand my lack of mobility in my neck as compared to Dagwood’s swivel head. I guess he doesn’t read the comics. That’s ok. He reads his journals. Great! 😉

June 25, 2026
Knows what he's doing

June 25, 2026
He pulled up examples on the computer for aids helpful for arthritis. He reviewed images and related symptoms to each pain.

June 16, 2026
My experience with Dr Decker has been very rewarding and successful one. I've known Dr Robert Decker by appointment visits however and that time I have developed a trust and respect for his knowledge is focus on the finer points and examination. I respect his overall experience and the results given to me and layman's term. I trust someone that can relate to me and my body by listening to my insurance and my description of what I feel. The utmost respect and confidence in his work.
