I was referred to this Dr. because of his expertise in his field - he specializes in obgyn / oncology - He is the senior in his group. What my regular dr. thought I had was a dermiod cyst on my rt ovary - after Dr. Malfetano reviewed the Ultra sound - it was clear that the cyst should be removed because of its size, we thought it was solid, and the fact that it was not there a year ago - also it was giving me great pain. We talked about my having a hysterectomy at that same time since I was done having children and I weighed all of my options and felt that was the right decision for me. He was the most kind and considerate Dr. I have ever had, he truley listened to me - explained everything to me ( repeating things if nessecary with out getting frustrated, or making me feel stupid) and did not rush me at all in choosing what to do . We knew the cyst should be removed so I went thru with the surgery - the cyst was a blood filled cyst that was leaking into my abdomen - he took the cyst and right ovary and preserved my left one. The surgery went great, no cancer - even after the surgery his staff was very willing to listen and answer any questions I had during my recovery time. And he encouraged me to not hesitate to call with what ever questions or problems I might have. Thank god for me I have not had any more problems but I feel he did a fantastic job and would recomend him to everyone. Very caring, very knowledgeable.
