Frank Detterbeck Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr Detterbeck came highly recommended to me from my pulmonary doctor. I had no idea that Dr Detterbeck was "a Top Doctor in CT". I was nervous about having 4 cancerous nodules removed from the thoracic area of my lung, but Dr Detterbeck assured be that the proceed would go smoothly. And it did! I can honestly say that Dr. Detterbeck's team was nothing short of amazing. Before and after the surgery, the team of nurses made me feel confident in a sucessful

A thorough and marvelous doctor. I am lucky to have found him and be in his ongoing care. Thank you, Doctor, Gloria Greenwald

Highly skilled surgeon who truly cares about his patients.

I came from out of state after having Dr. Detterbeck recommended to me. My complete experience went very well. My surgery was for Lung CA. I have only high regards for Dr, Detterbeck. I would highly recommend him. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my surgeon.

Words can not express how great Dr. Detterbeck is as a human and a surgeon. Caring, compassionate, great bed side manner. He restored my faith in the human race. If only all surgeons and doctors could learn from a man of this calabor of compassion and thoughtfulness that he has giving my family and I during this journey in my life. From holding my hand in his office while giving me my results to hugging me while I was laying on the operating table about to have part of my lung removed. I would highly recommend him to any and all people going through lung cancer. His team was always available for phone calls and questions never once rushing to end that phone call. Cheryl his assistant is also a class act taking numberous phone calls and questions never once sounding short or dismissive. I couldn't ask for anyone more caring or committed to me then he was and I will be thankful for him the rest of my life. With sincere appreciation and love Barbara (Bobbie) Pastore

It's been nearly six months since Dr. Detterbeck performed surgery on my finace, Steve Soltow. In spite of so many months between now and then, my deepest admiration and respect is still freshly and profoundly felt as I am compelled to share with all and anyone who may benefit from our experience. Steve, 64 years old, has never been hospitalized before and required a very specialized VAT surgery for a rare , cancerous tumor. After days of researching the procedure, condition and best surgeons in the Northeast coast the result, without question, was that Dr. Detterbeck was the doctor we needed to see. His kind, humanistic, knowledgeable, confident discussions with us about the tests, tumor, surgery and expected results was comforting support. Dr. Detterbeck demonstrated all of the characteristics that we all desire in a top notch surgeon; a compassionate gentleman who represented the best and brightest in his field. Steve's recovery was quick. Even if it hadn't been, Dr. Detterbeck created a positive experience to diffuse fear and promote faith. This past year, my family has experienced many medical events and hardships, including deaths in several top notch hospitals across the country. Our experience at Yale New Haven Hospital with Dr. Detterbeck takes the prize for world class care. We are forever grateful. Many deep felt thanks to all. Sincerely, Grace Franjola and Steve Soltow

I would not recommend Dr. Detterbeck. Issues with surgery he performed that should not of happened. No follow up and when you try to have him return phone calls, they are ignored.

Dr. Detterbeck is not only a fine doctor, he is unique in his position with his patients. He recently removed a Thymoma from my chest, a scary operation for me, with pain and some complications. Frank came into my room and sat with me for 20 min.and told me I would be o'k. Until that moment I wasn't sure. My lung was leeking air and I was in terrible pain, but I knew I was in the best hands. Anyone who is unlucky to need this this surgery would be very lucky to have Frank as their surgeon.
