The "You First" Philosophy
Junior 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—dedicated to supporting you on your path to better health and 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.
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.
Please Note: Every patient is unique, and your results may vary.
