Dr. Mariana de Jongh in Summerfield has been my husband and my Doctor for years. She is wonderful. Years ago I had bowl problem. I was scheduled for an operation and two days before she called me to postpone it because she wanted to try one more thing. Come to find it was a bacterial infection that was difficult to detect. She was and is a Godsend.
My husband who is experiencing rapid weight loss and usually goes to the VA for medical treatment. He loves the doctors there. They were unable to pinpoint his weight loss and ordered a special test. He decided to go outside the VA to Dr. de Jongh and she immediately knew what it was and put him on a medication that is taking care of the problem. He is so happy with Dr. de Jongh.
