Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommend Dr. Fumo & Staff
Awesome. He was very positive and knowledgeable regarding my lymphoma. He and his staff were very friendly and considerate of my anxiety. They all made me feel comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, his office or Midstate. They all made this terrifying experience easier on me, my husband and my family.

Great doctor
Being treated for Stage 4 esophageal cancer. I am so pleased to be under the care of Dr Fumo and the midstate oncology group. The journey started in October of last year and no one knows for sure how long this journey will last, but this group of doctors, nurses, and medical professionals has been by our side, holding our hand when there's a bump in the road and becoming extended family. I can't imagine going down this road with anyone else.

I am so lucky that Dr. Fumo was my oncologist. He is thorough, intelligent, and has an extremely modern approach to medicine. He backs everything with research and science, which I always appreciate, and likes to get the full picture when coming up with a plan (You'd be surprised at how often other oncologists do not do this). I trust Dr. Fumo with my life and would recommend him to my closest family member or friend.

About me: DIagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer.I undergone a bowel resection with chemotherapy.Dr. Fumo had no problem recommending me for Connecticut Medical Marijuana Program (CTMMP)He simply felt that I my side effects were not worthy of me to self medicate myself. Simply not true and not the case for me and I am sure for others who are living in the same conditions.How is it a Medical Professional can pick and choose who does or doesn't endure more suffering with no relief.
