De Blasio Jr Peter F MD

Great doctor great staff would recommend them to family and friends

I called in the morning and asked for an appointment, because I was seeing a really big floater in my right eye and since I am very nearsighted, I wanted to make sure that it was just a floater and nothing serious. I was told that they don't have any availability and the next appointment would be in 4 months. All they could do was write down my number and call me in case of a cancellation (they never called). Luckily, I called another ophthalmologist practice and the receptionist there knew that a big floater combined with heavy nearsightedness could be something serious, so she gave me an appointment within an hour. It turned out it wasn't a floater, but a tear in my retina and I needed emergency laser surgery that same afternoon. I was told it that it was a good thing that I came in that same day, because had I waited any longer it could have turned into a detached retina. I cannot fathom how an ophthalmologist practice does not know that a big floater in very nearsighted people can mean a retinal tear or detachment and therefore is considered an emergency. I have never encountered a medical practice that did not make availability for emergencies or at least told the patient calling with such urgent symptoms to seek medical help elsewhere that same day. Maybe it was for the best that this office didn't have any availability for me, I have serious doubts now about their competency.

Dr De Blasio is an excellent surgeon. He removed cataracts in both of my eyes. He and the staff at Fatama hospital treated me with respect and made me feel comfortable before, during and after the surgery. The office staff are very considerate , thoughtful and professional. They will try to make your appointments that will work well with your own schedule. The care I received was outstanding. I am very pleased and I will continue to keep my follow up visits and then have my annual eye exams done at Dr. De Blasio's office on 1532 Smith Street in North Providence. I highly recommend this compassionate doctor and his wonderful staff for anyone who wants a welcoming experience.

Dr. De Blasio has been my ophthalmologist for 30 years!! He took care of my late grandmother, late father, mother, sister, self, and now mom's cousin. Dr. Peter De Blasio has an amazing positive disposition. Great staff!!!
