Santa Dalessio

I could barely walk across a room, or to the car, a year ago, with my COPD! Now I walk, without a cane, down hill, and up hill, for a little over half a mile! Dr. "D" is one of the most loving and caring of talented Physicians I have ever known, in over 60 of my 82 yrs! She makes you feel like family, but takes no prisoners, should one prove too demanding, or less than civil! Her staff reflects her dedication, warmth, and talent!

During my first appointment with Dr. D'Alessio, I was encouraged by her personable manner and thought that I had finally found someone who would get to the bottom of my breathing problems. Several months later, when she FINALLY had time for a follow-up appointment, she kicked me out of her office and told me to find another pulmonologist. As an explanation, I must add that I had refused to let her weigh me (she would not let me give her an explanation), and then she started an inquiry as to the medications I was on - at which point I responded that she had seen me before (all of that info had been taken during my fist visit...actually, I brought a written list with me and handed it over to the young lady who took BP, etc., so it could be included with my file). Dr. D"Allessio had no prior file, clearly didn't know me from Adam, and was in a bad mood. Anyway, she said, "That's it, find another pulmonologist," and then she dashed out of the examination room. I didn't deserve that sort of treatment, and I HAD provided that information during my first visit. I am certainly not a threatening patient. I'm a grey haired old lady who has lung issues. I came out of that office in tears. No help for me today. I hope she is proud of her behavior. Apparently she has let her title (Dr.) go to her head. Think twice before making an appointment with her.

On time scheduling, but most important was the fact that she truly cares about my health.I was amazed at the care taken to get a COMPLETE picture of my health.The discussion of how to treat me, including my ability to afford the medications she wants me to take Having been a care giver to many in my family,and having dealt with many doctors over the years,she is a jewel. Your lungs are vital,so please do not waste time on subpar practices. You will have peace of mind knowing you are in the hands of the best. BTW it is a 90 minute drive for me but I would follow her several hrs. away if need be

Absolutely amazing Doctor. She really thinks about her patients. She is thorough in her care of you. I absolutely adore her.

I visited Dr. D'Alessio with a serious breathing problem that had been misdiagnosed previously by several other physicians. This issue was preventing me from leaving my house because of my sensitivity to many triggers. Dr. D'Alessio diagnosed my breathing problem, and recommended I use an over-the-counter medication, and referred me for breathing exercise therapy. My condition immediately improved. I now breathe normally and have not had any episodes for months. I highly recommend Dr. D'Alessio for anyone with breathing problems.

If you have questions, she takes time to make sure they are all answered in a way you can understand. She is so kind and compassionate, and really knows her stuff. I would trust her with any member of my family; and coming from a nurse that says a lot! Thanks for the amazing care you have given to me, my patients and the community.

She has successfully diagnosed a disease that had been unrecognized by other pulmonologists for FIFTEEN YEARS!!! Additionally, she actually LISTENS, and responds conversationally. She is understanding and compassionate.

My experience in Dr. D'Alessio's office was nothing short of exceptional. I was greeted by a very friendly staff and Dr. D'Alessio spent extra time answering all of my questions. I never felt rushed like I have at other offices. I would highly recommend this practice.

This office is unreasonable. I had to miss, not cancel, an appointment due an IBS attack. The office was notified at 8:00am for a 1:00pm appointment that I was too ill to make the appointment. Both the doctor and Barbara charged me $100 for canceling the appointment which I did not do. Sometimes it's unreasonable to expect a sick person who is being treated by a physician for IBS to be denied empathy and understanding. I will NEVER go to this doctor and neither should you. Barbara is smug.

Dr D'alessio is compassionate,thorough, intelligent & explains things so that I can understand them. She works with my other doctors, that is very important to me . The issue I have is trying to speak to a real person, or get a return call or portal message . The voicemail message is offensive-it seems like they dont want to help"- Example: "Leaving more than one message will prolong call back". should be omitted . If they dont call me back, I have to leave additional messages/portal msg.

Dr Santa D'Alessio is very compassionate, professional, & knowledgeable. The problem is that this office does not answer the phone or return phone calls. Ive called and messaged them several times over the past few weeks & never gotten a response. I am an elderly patient and having issues breathing, I needed to talk to the doctor to see if I could come in sooner than my scheduled visit. They've built a fortress around the office. Dr Santa D'Alessio should have a more patient centered office.

She is very personable, listens to what you say and very polite. She likes to get to the cause with your symptoms. Instead of just throwing meds at it like some of the doctors do and without taking time to listen to you. There are only 5 stars on here but I would give her 10..
