Dr. DeFreitas: A Patient-Centered Approach to Care

The "You First" Philosophy

Dr. DeFreitas, M.D. has built his practice around a simple yet profound principle: "you first." This patient-centered philosophy means that every aspect of your care is designed with your needs, understanding, and preferences at the center.

Clear Communication

Dr. DeFreitas believes that informed patients make the best healthcare decisions. He takes time to explain medical information in straightforward terms, breaking down complex conditions and treatments so you can fully understand your options. Questions are not just welcomed—they're encouraged.

Collaborative Decision-Making

Rather than dictating treatment plans, Dr. DeFreitas presents you with comprehensive information about all available options, including the benefits and potential risks of each approach. When surgery is recommended, he ensures you understand what to expect throughout the entire healing process, preparing you both physically and mentally for your journey to recovery.

Respectful Partnership

Dr. DeFreitas views himself as your partner and advocate in healthcare—a skilled instrument to help you achieve your best possible outcomes. He respects that you are the ultimate decision-maker regarding your health and will support whatever choice you make, because your care truly is all about you.

Education

Dr. DeFreitas completed his medical education at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia in 1984. He continued with an internship at Lankenau Hospital, followed by a residency in otolaryngology at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.

During his time there, he served as Chief Resident and received the prestigious Teaching Resident Award. His clinical work in temporal bone surgery earned additional recognition for its excellence and innovation.
