Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great pediatrician
Dr. Defalco was my primary doctor all throughout my childhood, from the ages of 4-18. It's a bit hard to write a review for a doctor I saw before I was invested in my own healthcare decisions. While I can't speak from a parent's perspective (and I know mostly parents will be reading this), I grew up seeing Dr. Defalco and I would highly recommend her to any parent seeking a pediatrician for their child. As far as primary doctors go, she had a positive impact on me growing up. It's common for kids to feel scared or uncomfortable with the idea of going to the doctor, but I remember always feeling safe and comfortable in her office and during my check ups. Even going through puberty, which is a notoriously awkward time, I felt I could share anything with her and trusted her opinions. As a long-term patient, I felt Dr. Defalco treated any issues that came up efficiently and she seemed to have a wide array of experience and knowledge. I trusted her decisions and treatment recommendations.

Dr. DeFalco has been treating my kids since they were born - we've been going to her for 10 years and she is wonderful! She is very good with the kids and they are never hesitant to see her when they are sick. I always feel that she listens well to my thoughts and concerns and has very open, frank discussions around any issues we are having. She is an amazing doctor and we are thankful to have found her. Her office staff is wonderful as well - friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend!
