Fadi F Estephan's Online Review Report Card

I'd like to thank Dr Estephan for his consistent testing schedule. It caught my problem early.

Dr Estephan was kind, compassionate, and informative when caring for my 80 yr old mother with colon cancer. The time that he spent in the room during an office visit was maybe not all that long but like I said earlier he was informative. He took the time to answer my questions. One visit he looked at me and asked, "Denise, how are you doing?" That meant a lot to me. Thank you Dr Estephan.

My mother in law received compassionate and thorough care from Dr Estephan. He fully respected her religious beliefs for treatment choices and made sure we understood the progression of the disease. It was terminal either way but he always treated her and the family with kindness and respect. Now my mother has cancer again after 11 yrs and both times we have found him to be the same way: kind, encouraging and knowledgeable. I’m sorry others have had negative experiences but our three separate encounters have been nothing but positive.

Appreciated the honesty and professionalism. Was there for my son. He listened and made us feel like he would do whatever we wish for son's cancer treatment. Awesome experience in spite of not so great news.

He cared for my mother and would spend 2-3minutes in the room with her, never laid a hand on her, and would dictate that he did a full assessment. I am an RN and reviewed his dictation, his physician assessment was all falsely documented. Very poor care. Find another oncologist!!!

Have been a patient of Dr. Estephan’s for several years and overall pleased . Takes the time to go over test results and explain treatment plan

I came back home and I visited with my mother who is doctoring with Dr Estefan. I was planning on a second opinion at a nearby university but changed my mind after I met him. He is following the gold standard. He has my trust.

During a recent appointment for a friend who I am the medical power of attorney for, Dr. Estephan asked me to take time to review him. He was frustrated by some of the negative reviews he received on here....and I can understand why. Reviews stating that he is unkind or rude or a quack or a medical hack or that he is shaming people in a way that not even a dog should be shamed....those reviews are NOT true. As to whether he is withholding care from people whether that be surgery or pain management, I can't imagine a circumstance under which he would act as these people has described. I have found Dr. Estephan to be nothing but kind, compassionate, thorough, understanding and holds an excellence of care that I can think of few doctors who could match him. He listens to patients with great care and dedication, making sure they understand the intricacies of their cancer and the treatment options available. I have asked many questions over the course of the five or more years my friend and I have seen him together. In fact, in appointments he goes to extreme lengths to make sure that each patient understands what he's doing, why he's doing it, what to expect from it AND what he will do if it doesn't work. Cancer sucks. I can think of nothing worse than getting a cancer diagnosis. I've seen my friend go through horrible things but that is nothing that Dr. Estephan had control over. In fact, I can tell you that, with no doubt in my mind, without Dr. Estephan and his exemplary handling of her care, it would have been far worse. She will still pass from cancer because her cancer is terminal...but she will have lived many years beyond what would have been expected because of Dr. Estephan. And for the review that said he was denying palliative care or hospice care.... that is absolutely ludicrous. From early on in my friend's care, Dr. Estephan was quite clear that when the time came and my friend arrived at point where she needed assistance or wanted to stop fighting and be comfortable while cancer took her that he would connect her with those resources. If you can't tell, I think the negative reviews are nonsense. Dr. Estephan is a wonderful doctor, a caring human and anyone would be lucky to have him care for them in a very difficult time.
