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.

The doctor and the office staff were great. However. On entering and leaving the hospital I was surprised and overwhelmed by the odor of cigarette smoke in the halls. Especially since I was there to follow up on my lung cancer!
