In 2013 Dr D performed a bloodless heart transplant on my wife. Dr after Dr turned us down and said she should just accept her fate and die. Dr D gave her a chance and performed in stellar fashion. My wife would never have had the chance to love our 3 year old great grandson had he not been the true hero he is. He is a man of principle and great compassion and we will always love him.

I believe Dr. D'Alessandro did his part on caring for my mother, My mother is elderly and not in the best of health.He informed me and my siblings promptly on a complication during surgery. I am blessed to have my mother and she made it through. He was cordial and sensitive towards my mother and very positive and endearing. I would recommend this doctor to everyone. I would love to thank him for all he has done for my mother, me and my siblings. Thank You Doctor for giving me more years with my mother.. God Bless
