"Since the very first day I was contacted back by Cesar Espinosa to the very end, sad moment of say 'see you later' to my dad, my experience with Cesar and the entire staff at Dorsey was outstanding. I felt cared for. The attention and professionalism was excellent. At the reception the staff was so sweet and loving to all of us. Even though it was a very sad moment we were going through, the staff help ease the situation by their loving and caring ways, Cesar definitely included! At Dorsey, they all know how to provide excellent customer service and delight their customers!"
