I have an odd presentation of symptoms. I kept the entire pulmonary team busy last year. I appreciate their willingness to help and support me in my journey. I feel that I can bring any concerns forward and they take them seriously. I am happy with my care with all of the staff there!

Not sure who designed this facility but putting pulmonology and cardiac care a half mile from the entrance wasn't exactly thinking patient comfort.

Dr DeFeo was a breath of fresh air to meet someone with concern and compassion for her profession was very much appreciated. In this world of people who cannot even make eye contact with a patient and social skills are not to be found I am lucky to have found Ms. De Feo Thanks for finding her.

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.
