Lisa DiStefano, MD 2016 South Main Street, Maryville, MO 64468

"I had lisa for a doctor for over 20 years and after i had bariatric surgery she wanted me to stop taking my blood pressure medication the day after surgery. the bariatric doctor said i couldnt stop it cold turkey because i could have a stroke. 2 weeks after surgery i had a gout attack and lisa gave me a med that she said it was ok to take since i had surgery. turns out i wasnt to have it. 3 months later my bariatric doctor lowered my blood pressure and lisa denied any refills and then i call the nurse to see why and come to find out lisa is no longer my doctor. she didnt not tell me that i was no longer her patient and i did not get a letter in the mail saying i was no longer her patient. Update the nurse called me and said that i fired lisa as my doctor. I DID NOT FIRE her."

"Very poor ethics. Refused my 2-year-old daughter as a patient - who is struggling to breathe at night, simply because I didn't want to discuss her vaccination status. The nurse stated word for word, "Dr. Destefano typically doesn't see patients with whom she can't discuss vaccination status with." Update: they responded below to contact them. I sent an email and haven't received a response. It's been over a week."

"Wonderful clinic. Staff is kind, responds in a timely manner, and is clearly invested in helping their community. Dr. Distefano is wonderful. Warm, personable, and exactly what you’d hope for in your child’s doctor."
