How likely are you to recommend Dr. Destefano?
Dr. DeStefano is amazing. I have been in the hospital for 17 days today. Yesterday April 30th 2022 she came in and changed my medicine to something that now works for me. I had been in chronic pain for years and now I'm in pain from my surgery and leg pain from my cancer. I was struggling to feel no pain or anything below a 5. Yesterday, when she changed my medication, everything changed. It may not be a lot to some people but to me it means so much. More than she will ever know. She helped me regain some faith in God. I had felt like nothing would get better. She helped me find hope again. I'm able to stand on my right leg and be comfortable. I can never repay what she did for me. She is amazing. She listens to me and gave me what i needed. I'm so thankful for her and anyone that gets her for a Dr. Is in great hands. Thank you again for what you did for me. Not only did you reduce my years of pain but you have started my process of having some hope in my life.
