Dr. John Stefano, MD

Front desk unpleasant and inefficient. Drove 60 mi to have 2 min exam to renew an Rx. 3 wks later Rx still hasn’t been called in, but was told it had been. Finally told it would be done today. Not an isolated experience with this practice.

No bedside manor. Waited to see him for 30 minutes and exam was five minutes. He walked in with a bad attitude because I told the front desk I only want done what Medicare covers.i told him I had cataract surgery and he said no one informed him of that. I would give below 0 if this was an option

I've been seeing Dr. Stefano since 2007. He is excellent and literally saved my life. He diagnosed a very rare form of eye melanoma that only affects about 250-300 people a year in the US. He got me in to see the best ocular oncologist for my diagnosis within a week. Most importantly, he knew what he was looking at, where to send me, and what NOT to do. A biopsy, which a lot of eye doctors do to their patients, could have spread my melanoma and cost me my eye if not my life. Highly recommend Dr. Stefano as a great diagnostician.

Stefano did my cateract surgery. It was worst med experience of my life. I was 1st patient Mond morng. He was over hr late & angry & fussing @ nurses when he arrived. After surgery I had severe excruciating pain all day. @ followup visit next am, this was my chief complaint. They weren’t concerned about it. Their med records for that & other follow up visits never mentioned it. 1 month later I made them do another exam. Immediately, without explanation, they got me an emergency appt with a retinal specialist who said I had post vitreous separation, retinal tear and retinal separation. This specialist tried to repair the tear but left me with a huge floater that obstructs my vision now 2 yrs later. After 2 years of treatment, I’m left with worse vision than before. I have epiretinal membrane & a macular pucker. My brain can’t bring vision from both eyes together. Johns Hopkins says that there is nothing that can be done w/o significant downside risk. I would never recommend Stefano

Very helpful team that guided me through the process of booking surgery. Thorough and considerate.

Great experience from start to finish with Dr. Stefano. Efficient scheduling, successful surgery and great follow up! Would highly recommend.

The office staff is not friendly at all. There was a mixup in reason for my follow up appointment and the technician became very rude and would not let me talk to explain that they had the wrong reason for my appointment. The front desk person finally stepped in to clarify why I was there!! Then the full procedure was not completed because there wasn’t enough time, after all of the issues. Not a pleasant experience at all!

A bad experience with disturbing remarks from the doctor and rude finance department

I've found Dr Stefano to be an excellent doctor. His diagnostic work is superior - helped me figure an important eye problem two other area doctors could not. His surgical work is very good - he did my cataracts. His office personnel are well organized and very responsive. Sometime his bedside manner is very good and sometimes it is a little brusque. But I'm not looking for a best friend. I am looking for a skilled and appropriately caring diagnostician and surgeon and he is certainly that.

He has taken terrific care of my eyes for well over 10 years. He did a surgery for me that has preserved my vision. Forever grateful to him and his staff.

Worst bedside manner!!! He talks down to patients and spends very little time with them. He is often late to work which leaves patients sitting for at least an hour.
