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.

I really like Dr. DeStefano. She is very clearly knowledgeable and skilled and has a reassuring demeanor. She always takes the time to answer all my questions—whether it’s been on an evening phone call or in the office. I can also tell that regular OBs in Austin really trust her expertise and defer to her for decisions. It’s great to have confidence in your care team!

Dr.DeStefano is a wonderful doctor. This is my first pregnancy and also high risk. She has made my feel comfortable and ar ease to make sure that my pregnancy will be smooth and safe. She takes the time to explain everything and what tests need to be done. Her nursing staff is extremely kind and wonderful. They always take time to answer questions and will work with you. These group of women are amazing and fantastic!!!

The first time I had an appt here I saw the staff within minutes of arriving. I got my weigh/blood pressure taken by someone quickly. Then the sonogram gentleman came and he was in and out quickly as well. Then I waited over 50 minutes for the doctor. I finally came out of the room to find the entire staff eating lunch. I asked if I would be seen soon as I needed to get back to work. The nurse looked at me blankly "You mean, the doctor hasn't seen you yet?". She went to get the doc and 10 minutes later Dr. DeStefano comes in, chewing her bite of food, saying that my folder was lost under a stack. She didn't even spend 3 minutes with me before saying I was good to go. A few appts later after this one, I was told after my sonogram that the doctor wasn't in the office yet. It was 9:15am at this point. I asked why I was booked for a doctors appt if the doctor wasn't going to be in. She said because the doctor usually makes it in around 9:30ish. Again, why am I being scheduled if there is

This is my first pregnancy and I am so happy to be able to have Dr. DeStefano in my corner. Her and her office staff are always super friendly and always make sure to answer any question I have regardless of how minor or ridiculous it might be. They never make me feel bad about anything I ask. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a Dr to help them with their pregnancy.
