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.

I saw De Stefano for a number of years. He was always nice, but never did anything to improve my health. He talked in endless loops of what he might want to do, but then never did anything. I had an emergency one day, stopped by the office to see if I could get some help, and was told to go to the ER without care or concern whatsoever by the doctor. When De Stefano got busted by the State for over-prescription of pain killers, though common knowledge in his office, mentioning it got me thrown out of his practice. Suddenly, "we dont take your insurance anymore", even though it was a major provider.

Dr. De Stefano is an excellent physician. He is a very good listener, he takes his time and never makes you feel rushed, does not tell you what to do but advises you of your options, does not insist that you take a medication unless it's really necessary, his mind is open to non-traditional medicine, and I have never waited for more than five, six minutes to be seen. I would highly recommend him.

I really like Dr. De Stefano..., found him measured, attentive, thorough, and definitely NOT a pill pusher .., treated my complaint first with acupuncture & did not recommend pharmaceuticals until we figured out the effectiveness of other treatment, which worked!

He is a pill pusher. He should loose his practice. My son almost died because he overly proscribed him drugs.
