2/14/13 5 5 5 5 Dr. Andrew is the best dr EVER. My husband and I are forever grateful for him. From my first visit to my last Dr Andrew was always attentive, and answered every one of my questions (although some were ridiculous questions.) He is patient, kind, caring and compassionate. He has a great bed side manner. He takes time out for every patient and you are never rushed out of his office no matter how packed the waiting room may be. (That should also be a good sign). He was very supportive throughout my entire pregnancy. He was very calming and encouraging throughout my labor an delivery and wouldn't haven't been able to do it without him. I would absolutely recommend him to any of my friends or family!!

3/1/12 5 3 5 5 Doctor Andrew is the best doctor ever! He is always very calm, caring and helpful. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for couple years and Dr. Andrew was the one to confirm my pregnancy. He always reassured me that everything was going alright. I recently gave birth naturally to a 9.6 lbs baby boy. Dr. Andrew delivered my miracle in calm and professional way. I can't thank him enough.

12/2/11 4 3 5 5 rom the moment Dr Andrew confirmed my pregnancy to the postpartum care, he was wonderful! He was always kind, respectful, professional and knowledgable. He was calm and reassuring with informing me about test results that weren't 100% great news and his calm demeanor and reassuring attitude really helped with any bumps in the road. In addition to my the great care he took during the entire pregnancy, my delivery experience with him was amazing! I was worried he wouldn't be the doctor to deliver me but somehow he worked his magic between late office hours and crazy hospital shifts. Although my labor was long and difficult, once again, I could not be more thankful for Dr Andrew's calm nature. He made the experience so much easier. He coached me through it all & helped deliver my baby wonderfully! I can't rave enough about him as an OB. Although the wait time in his office can be almost unbearable at times-he is worth the wait! I would not trade him for any other doctor.

5/12/11 5 4 5 5 Dr. Andrew is by far THE BEST OB/GYN doctor. I had some severe fibroid issues and unexplained bleeding, and not only did he figure out what was wrong and "cure" me, during the process, which was a very emotional and trying time for me, he kept in contact at all times.. going so far as to give me his personal home number, in case I started to "hemmorrage" again. he always calls you back, never makes you feel like he is in a hurry, and will answer all of your questions. I would never even think of another doctor!!  Respond

1/7/11 2 1 1 1 WARNING:I went to this doctor and for over 1 year he kept treating me for yeast infections with the same medications for that long.I became immune to the medications and developed worst symptoms and effects.He seemed unsure as to how to treat me,kept repeating the same tests.WARNING:I now have various uterine cysts and fibroids because he failed to properly diagnose me.He is kind and friendly but attitudes DO NOT treat diseases,medications and proper diagnosis does.I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HIM!..He has cost me my marriage and I am now a 94 pound anemic weakling because of him.I was a 50 mile a week runner too.He deserves to be rightfully sued for malpractice but i have absolutely no energy to do so because of him.It is so sickening to see him get away with so much.WARNING!LADIES DO YOUR RESEARCH!

12/22/10 5 5 5 5 Dr Andrew De Fazio is an excellent doctor for observing the period of pregnancy and for delivery either. I ought to change my previous doctor in the middle of my pregnancy. My husband called around 20 doctors. Nobody wanted to take pregnant patients after 3months. Dr Andrew was the only one who gave me an appointment and accepted me as a patient. He was so professional, quiet and positive that just at my first visit I got absolutely sure that everything would be fine with me and my baby. That was really the case!I gave birth to a 9.1 pound boy by a natural way without any problem. Ultrasound screen showed my baby have extra fingers. Dr. Andrew called me as soon as he got this information just only to calm and support us. He was open to answer all our questions. I don’t know anybody being such a thoughtful doctor! So, he is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I have already highly recommended him to all my friends and would be happy to do it for every pregnant reading these lines!

9/13/10 5 5 5 5 I was running about 15 minutes late and I was the last appointment for the day and Dr. Defazio waited for me. When I set the appointment (the week prior) the receptionist let me do all of my paperwork then, so I could save time on the actual appointment day. That turned out to be very helpful, since I was running late. When I got there I met the doctor and he asked me the usual questions. He was very nice and personable. The actual exam far exceeded my expectations. I had some worries about endometriosis, and he not only explained why/how it happens, but how to stop the symptoms. And before I knew it, the exam was done. Very fast, very knowledgeable, very nice. I've been in New York for a year and was overwhelmed to even start looking for a new gyne. I'm glad I searched the reviews here and found a great one.

11/9/08 5 5 5 5 Dr. Andrew was such a great doctor. He was very helpful and answered all our questions and was always there when I had an emergency visit. I gave birth while he was away on vacation and I have to say that I was well taken care off by his 2 brothers Mark and Greg. I would follow them as my doctors for any other future children. :-)
