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.

Excellent doctor. Listens attentively and spends a lot of time with you making sure you understand everything. He went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and is very caring and gentle. Great doctor!

Dr. DeFulvio and his staff are wonderful, kind and hard working people. I was sent to the ER with severe abdominal pain and no one could figure out what was wrong, or was willing to hear my story. Dr. DeFulvio took my case, diagnosed me with endometriosis and performed surgery that gave me my life back. Most importantly, he listened to me and provided me with great care. 6 years later as ive moved cities and getting my records/contacting his office has been the easiest process EVER.

He told me that I was going to have a stillbirth because I didn't want to be induced early. This despite the fact that there were no problems with my health not the baby's. It was just his protocol for mothers with pre existing diabetes.
