Westchester Medical Center

"I'm glad I was not there as a "sick" person. I'm glad my stay was brief! Some of the nurses were excellent, some were pitifull. The surgeon was excellent!"

Thomas Cerabona

"When I first met Dr. Cerabona I felt confident he was the surgeon for me! He made me feel so relaxed and calm. I was able to ask him a lot of questions, he answered them all in a way that was easily understood yet never spoke down to me. rnrnBy nature I get very anxious when it comes to anything to do with doctors, on the morning of my surgert I was a nervous wreck! As soon as Dr. Cerabona came into the holding area I immediately felt myself calming down. He stood next to me, joked around a little bit with me, he was very kind to my family, he answered their questions. In the OR when my anxiety level increased again he stood next to me, rubbed my arm a little and calmed me right down again, he has an amazing bedside manner! After the surgery he spoke with my family, my mother is in the medical field and is very difficult to impress, was totally impressed with Dr. Cerabona. rnrnDr. Cerabona's office staff has been really top notch so far I have had no problems with any of them. Sophia the PA is wonderful. Janet the nutrionist is really good too. I think the pre/post OP class prior to surgery was so beneficial! rnrnMy only complaint this far is that I had no way of speaking with either the PA or a surgeon after hours. There doesn't appear to be an answering service for the office. The voice mail advises you to call 911 or go to the ER. My issue did not need a trip to the ER, but did need the advice of a PA or Surgeon. I choose to call my Primary Care Physician for assistance. I would have been more comfortable speaking with the surgeon's office. rnrnI give Dr. Cerabona 2 thumbs up! He is truly amazing! I have so much respect for him! "
