As a health care provider, I believe in actively listening to my patients and creating a comfortable environment where they feel secure to share their health concerns. I work collaboratively with each patient to create a personalized plan that takes into account their individual goals and needs. Empathy and respect for each patient, regardless of their background or circumstances, are essential aspects of my approach. I strive to provide high-quality vision care that is tailored to each patient's needs and values, and I aim to make a positive impact on their overall health and well-being.

The support staff was very good. The Dr. Was knowledgeable but more willing to just gather the informat?on he needed and not volunteer anything else. I am an advanced practie RN and my support person is a multi display RN we were a bit taken back but we were impressed when we asked question.
In general I felt very satisfied with the service and care of the entire Healthcare team.
1st time visit and went very good. Answered all my questions, impressed
Excellent all around!
Great people
Dr deStefano and staff were outstanding kind and very friendly I would highly recommend their service
Dr deSteffano did my husband's cataract surgery three months ago. Excellent. Now I have mine scheduled in a few months and anticipate the same excellent care.
I made this appointment one year in advance, so that was very helpful in getting the appointment at a time that worked for me.
I already have recommended Froedtert and Dr. Desteffano to other people who are in need of cataract surgery.
Start to finish everything went smoothly. All we're friendly and professional. Very pleased with my visit.
My overall care from beginning to end of visit excellent job
Dr De Stefano is very thorough, and always takes time to answer my questions and explain things to me.
My appoinment experence was great Looking forward to planned surgery
The whole experience with Dr deStefano couldn't have been better. Very thorough. Very professional. Very warm and reassuring.
I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of every staff member I met during this appointment. Entire appointment flowed consistently and easily. Dr. Stefano reviewed the test, presented my options and explained each in detail. This appointment was for a second opinion. I left with greater knowledge of my situation and left very confident I would receive excellent care. The call to schedule surgery came promptly, the lady was very clear in explaining the process, that timeline and the cost. I very much appreciated her friendliness and professionalism.
Thank you!!!
The dr answered all our questions ans we are going ahead with the surgery
Dr. De Stefano has a good bedside manner. He, as well as the rest of the staff delivered very knowledgeable and professional care during my procedures. I continue to have high regard for the services provided by The Eye Institute.
It was my first meeting with the Dr and his staff. Everyone was over the top kind, knowledgeable, and apologetic for the wait - turned out it was a crazy busy Friday!
I am an out of state patient and I found all of the personnel I encountered to be very pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable they made my less stressful which I appreciated
They all was very nice to me
Explained things in terms I understood. Gave me extra material to read so I could make a good decision for myself. Dr De Stefano and staff were very pleasant , professional and caring.
The very delicate surgery in reattach a dislocated implanted lens and follow up care was preformed with exacting professionalism by all of the people Involved. I appreciate the work everyone Involved did as well as the schedulers/front office staff (including pharmacy) and other people Involved that I may not have seen (ie: housecleaning and maintenance.) Thank you all.
Pleased with my care by all.
The doctor gave me great confidence in how well the procedure went and the quality of the results
They good a good job
Dr. DeStefano was excellent and professional, as well as his assistants.
