Eileen SEGRETTI MD
Oncology (Cancer) - Pennsylvania Pittsburgh

I am a recent patient of Dr Segretti, I had to decide on a doctor after the referal was not in my network...What a blessing for me!!! Karen--Dr Segretti's nurse is awesome!! and the rest of the staff along with Dr. Segretti made me feel that I was there family. I could have not asked for anything better they were very professional and very caring. All of my phone calls were taken or returned the same day. Karen gave me a direct line for her weeks before my surgery to call her if I had questions..believe you me I did!! Dr Segretti explained everything to me and made me feel as if I was the only patient she had. For the experience I had to go through I could not have asked for a better doctor they made it very stress free and I could not have asked for anything more

Thanks Again!! Dr Segretti and Staff

I was referred to Dr. Segretti after Dr. James Rowland(also a wonderful doc) found a rapidly growing uterine tumor. People said I should go to UPMC. Well, I couldn't be more pleased with my care. Dr. Segretti is a talented surgeon surgeon and a caring person. Her staff are also very nice to work with when you are stressed finding out you have cancer. The staff at West Penn have been great. I am so glad I chose to stay with my West Penn doctors - this is an unpaid and unsolicited endorsement.
PS: I am a nurse as well as a patient.

I was referred to Dr. Segretti after being diagnosed with cervical cancer (adenocarcinomo) in 2006. Since then she has been a God-send! After having a radical hysterectomy Dr. Segretti oversaw my preventative radiation/chemo treatments. She definately gives a human touch to the medical field. Before surgery she answered every question I had completely, using terms *I* could understand! I never felt rushed while meeting with her or as if I was asking a "common sense" question. After surgery I found out that having an after hours problem didn't mean speaking with the doctor on-call, but rather Dr. Segretti would return my call. That is just another example of how she seperates herself from other doctors I've dealt with.

She takes her patients concerns seriously. After dealing with a doctor who made me feel like I was overreacting to my situation--Dr. Segretti offered a gentle, understanding approach. Now, almost a year post-surgery, I know that when I call her office I won't have to wait days on end for a response, typically the call is returned that same day.

Recently I experienced some problems while Dr. Segretti was out of town. While the treating doctors were very nice, I knew that I wouldn't trust anything I was told until Dr. Segretti had a chance to review it all. And true to who she is, she gave me far more answers, suggestions, and long-term possibilities than all the other doctors put together! She explained things in a way that I understood exactly what happened, why, and how to deal with it in the future.

Dealing with cancer isn't easy. Having Dr. Segretti overseeing everything gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time.
