Changed my life
Dr. DeStefano is amazing. I have been in the hospital for 17 days today. Yesterday April 30th 2022 she came in and changed my medicine to something that now works for me. I had been in chronic pain for years and now I'm in pain from my surgery and leg pain from my cancer. I was struggling to feel no pain or anything below a 5. Yesterday, when she changed my medication, everything changed. It may not be a lot to some people but to me it means so much. More than she will ever know. She helped me regain some faith in God. I had felt like nothing would get better. She helped me find hope again. I'm able to stand on my right leg and be comfortable. I can never repay what she did for me. She is amazing. She listens to me and gave me what i needed. I'm so thankful for her and anyone that gets her for a Dr. Is in great hands. Thank you again for what you did for me. Not only did you reduce my years of pain but you have started my process of having some hope in my life.

Dr. DeStefano was my doctor during a recent stay in the hospital. I was impressed with her level of medical knowledge, professionalism & compassion. She went the extra mile to make sure my health care needs were met. Being in the hospital for the first time is very scary. Dr. Destefano took time to explain things to me so I could make changes in my life to prevent future hospital visits. Thank goodness for Doctor’s like Dr. D.

I was sent to the emergency room and admitted for breathing issues. Dr. DeStefano was my attending physician while in hospital. She was amazing. She was knowledgeable, showed genuine concern and bedside manner that alot of healthcare personnel just lack these days. She even gave me a recommendation for a Dr. for my follow up care.
