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.

Compassionate, Knowledgeable
In a world where health can be clinical Dr. Dedonato will rise to the occasion to fulfill requests. Think out of the box and he will be on the same page - or be solution oriented, pro active, your advocate.

I brang my son in for chest pain/shortness of breath & uncontrollable, shaking of his hand. He felt faint was never asked if we needed assistance as he fell weak in which it was dismissed when we asked Dr came in & Immediately had attitude as if we were bothering him. It was not busy at all! Regardless of the fact, he told him to get on the table in which he was having trouble the he decide to lay hands on him, grabbed his legs forcefully, and basically assaulted him when I had said he was having trouble, he said that he was a big boy, and that he was FINE without even being assessed never the less diagnosed. He was discriminated against judged and miss handled, where I had no choice, but to take the risk and drive him to Danbury not knowing if he was going to have a heart attack. This was not only unacceptable, unprofessional, inexcusable, and by no any means appropriate healthcare. I cannot imagine how many others have been treated this way by this so-called healthcare professional.

Excellent Care
Dr Dedonato treated my husband in the ER at New Milford Hospital. He was very helpful and took the time to get a good history of what had been going on. He explained things well to us. The ER was packed and the whole department really took the time needed to help my husband. Everyone in the ER was wonderful and we are thankful for their help.
