My experience with Dr Defeo was outstanding! I will again point out as a person who is handicapped along with many others are very upset about the parking!! No valet which is ridiculous thus we are required to have someone to drive us to the hospital.

The hospital was very clean, quite and easy to maneuver to the places I had to go. The staff was very friendly and caring. I learned a lot from the start point of my appointment. Would definitely come back and tell my family and friends.

Dr Defeo is a capable, knowledgeable doctor. She is also compassionate & kind. I am at the end stage of a terminal illness & I asked her for frank information. She was thoughtful but honest in our discussion, and I much appreciated her respectful & kind attitude. I am grateful to be in her care.

Very professional. I felt cared for .
June 05, 2025
This was my 1st apptmt with Dr DeFeo. After meeting with her, I decided to transfer my care to her from an out-of-town provider that I've seen for 5 yrs. I have been told by multiple specialists that I have a very complicated case history, so this was not an impulsive move on my part. Dr DeFeo was familiar with my history on paper, but she asked me for further info & input, AND she listened. She was well-informed about the conditions I have, and she offered treatment options and answered my questions. I felt that she was quite knowledgeable, thoughtful, & respectful of my needs as a patient. I am glad to have been referred to her.
