Teresa Gagliano-Decesare's Online Review Report Card

This doctor neglected my care. I hired Dr Teresa Gagliano-Decesare based on her 5 stars reviews. I cannot explain the 5 stars, but I can explain my bad experience under her care. I think it’s about time for her to be exposed. Shortly after my first two visits. I developed an excruciating pain like I had never had before. That came along with some mobility issues and the need to walk with a cane. Worst time of my life. During the next three months, I didn’t see Dr. Decesare. She assigned me to her assistant and I don’t know if she ever knew about the miserable time that I was going through. Not even a phone call or a FaceTime appointment. I wrote her a letter explaining in detail all the things that were going wrong, to learn later that she never read the letter. And they charge my insurance company $500 for a 10 minute visit, not with my oncologist, but with her assistant? Something seems so wrong here! Due to my cancer medication, my dental office needed an approval from her for a certain treatment.Twice she was faxed the request. She never responded. I then PERSONALLY handed over to her the request and she said that she would get back to them, but she never did. Something’s wrong with this doctor. Dr. Decesare was totally uninvolved with my treatment. How can a doctor like her be working at Lynn Cancer Institute? It’s beyond me. And the administrative staff is all for the doctors. No one ever approached me for anything. It’s easier for them to be friends with the doctors than to advocate for one of their cancer patients living the misery of cancer on top of the frustration of being treated by a bad doctor. There’s no difamación on this review. My comments are substantiated by evidence and I also I have their names. For obvious reasons, I’m no longer her patient.

Oncologist for breast cancer

I have been her patient for 6 years. I was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer and she has kept me alive and functioning all of this time. She listens to your concerns, returns calls and is very knowledgeable with all the new treatments. I have recommended to others and they are also very pleased. I am so blessed to have her treating me all of this time.

Easy to talk to. Very informative. Did not feel rushed at all. Reassuring.

One of the most caring doctors I’ve used. She takes the time to answer all of my questions. She shines among others that have treated me.

She is excellent, Super nice and extremely competent

This is the doctor you want when you have breast cancer. As a male I am one of the few unlucky get to get the disease. Dr Decesare has treated me for 7 years. She is the best of the best.

One of the best doctors and facilities I have ever used!

I have battled Stage IV metastatic breast cancer for 14 years, of which 5 have been under the care of Dr DeCesare. She is knowledgeable, caring, informed of the latest treatments available, stays ahead of the illness by spelling out clear strategies with scenario planning, she is pragmatic while infusing renewed hope fighting the enemy side-by-side with the patient. She is also open-minded knowing when to seek further support or second-opinions from other institutions when needed, demonstrating her priority is the patient's well being.
