Dr Diefenderfer is highly skilled in osteopathic care and was able to quickly assess the origin of my muscular tension and the best technique to effectively release it. MDCCC is an integral piece of my medical care puzzle. I'm very thankful for the staff in this practice.

Excellent welcoming staff, nice job creating a tranquil and therapeutic environment. The DOs who provided the consult and OMT treatment were top notch. They really helped me figure out some health concerns, explained everything they were doing, and gave me some great tips for self care at home. So glad we have this practice in our health system.

Great experience just had to wait too long to get my first appointment set...and I feel the next two appointments are too far apart to see improvement like I need! I am on cancellation list and hope to get in very soon.

Dr. Diefenderfer is awesome. I really feel like he listens to me and he remembers details from our previous visits that were a year ago. My only complaint is that it takes a really, really long time to get in to see him. And sometimes, you know, as a doctor who treats pain, you need to see him in a shorter time span. Thank you. Bye.
