Dr. Michael Defeo, MD

Dr. DeFeo has been the Pediatrican for both my kids for 8 years now and he is just amazing. He feels like an old school family doctor; remembers everything about the kids and cares deeply. They are never afraid to meet him, even for vaccines. I trust his decisions and I know I can count on him (having called on him even in Christmas Eve). Thank you Dr. DeFeo!

Amazing doctor. My son is almost 7 years old and we have seen Dr. DeFeo since my son was born. Knowledgeable, professional, and kind. He was recommended to me by my obgyn at Cornell, who I truly trust and respect as well.

Thorough, insightful, professional, addressed every concern

My infant had a virtual visit with Dr. DeFeo, but he was so thorough, it was as if we were there in person. We really appreciated his thoughtfulness and attentiveness.

Dr Defeo is so caring and knowledgeable. I am a frantic and anxious mother and I always feels safe and in good hands with Dr Defeo. My sons have been seeing him since they were babies and they are now 7 and 5. This weekend my son developed staph and had an allergic reaction the medicine. Dr Defeo was with me for every step, even though it was a Saturday. He called to follow up and check in to make sure the steps we took had worked. I feel so grateful for him and to Weill Cornell pediatrics in general — they are always so accessible, buttoned up, and kind. My kids actually like to go see the doctor!

He has been our pediatrician for over 14 years. He is an expert in pediatric care. In addition, he is thorough, attentive, responsive, and caring. He takes the time to answer any questions and is always available when you need him.

Amazing pediatrician! Dr Defeo is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Many other pediatricians we’ve seen are dismissive and impatient. Not only is Dr Defeo patient with our toddler, but also with me and the 10,000 questions I throw at him each visit. He’s also extremely responsive via the office’s online portal. Highly recommend!

Visit was great. We didn’t wait at all. Everyone was kind and friendly, Dr. Defeo as always was great with the kids and helpful with answering all of our questions. Dr Defeo has been our kids’ pediatrician since birth, they are 12 and 14 now. We love him!

Excellent service and doctor is truly fantastic. I never feel rushed out and the doctor always takes time to answer all my questions and work with me on treatment options for anything that comes up. We love Dr. DeFeo and love the staff! Wait times are usually not long. I have taken all three of my kids there since birth and call the office for advice all the time and usually reach an on call doctor or nurse within the hour.

Amazing Pediatrician -- we love him and he's great with our kids. Excellent with preemies

Seen in timely manner as scheduled. Diagnosis was determined as a virus and not a bacteria infection. The child body was to take it course to heal. Strep test was negative. Other matters was determined. I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. DeFeo is very professional and tentative to the needs and concerns of his patients and their parents. He makes the time to explain the circumstances and options available. We have four children and have been with Dr. DeFeo for over 12 years. We feel very secure in his care.
