Patient Reviews
Dec 01, 2018
From the emergency room in Placerville, I got an appointment the next day to see Dr. Detwiler. Arrived at the appointed time. Barely had the paperwork filled in and was called back by his assistant. Her check-up and prep was quick. Dr. Detwiler arrived in a couple minutes. He asked a few questions politely about the issue, and did a quick examination. He explained the options and said he could do the procedure now if I was willing. Less than 30 minutes and I was back out the door feeling great.
