Matthew R. Deluzio, DO

DR. MATTHEW DELUZIO, DO RUINED MY HEALTH. I was under Dr. Deluzio's "care" for over the last year. I was referred to him after a "suspicious" tiny node was found on my lung. Fear was used on me because I used to smoke. He said, "in my opinion you have lung cancer," a statement which he now denies: I have a witness. He recommended a risky biopsy which punctured my lung, resulting in the collapse of that lung two times. I was in hospital for nine days where I almost died twice. The biopsy found no cancer, and later the node disappeared altogether. As a result my breathing is irreversibly terrible, in spite of much hard work with rehab therapists, heart and breathing specialists. I was a world-class brass player (I have my own Wikipedia page, am on sixty-five famous albums, mostly as a featured soloist; and I regularly performed my compositions with my own world-class band). Now I am no longer able to play. I am sick, gasping for my life from even taking out the trash. My first… appointment with Deluzio was at his office in Springfield, but the following three were by telephone. He forgot all three. Indeed, when I was in hospital due to the biopsy he urged, he didn't even show for the phone appointment—not to mention he show up in person. He didn't care what he had done to me, and he later lied and said that the hospital had called and canceled, but he is in charge of the Thoracic team at the hospital (as Interim Head of Thoracic Division). For the second and third appointments I had to call three times. It took over an hour and a half for his secretary to get him for the third. In all cases he lied, blaming others. Deluzio is unprofessional in the arrogance of his assumption that the greater good of early diagnosis for the possible cure with no consideration of his patient's lifestyle. His creation of a life not living (many of his patients carry a 4' canister around with them), takes precedence over the classic doctor's rule of "do no harm." The lung biopsy he routinely promotes is extremely dangerous, so much so that he had me sign a release—after scaring me of my impending death by lung cancer. In my case, he said that "I was just holding on," but nonetheless I WAS holding on, had a good, healthy lifestyle (going to the gym a couple of times a week and exercising daily: I was able perform on a wind instrument as a soloist on a truly world-class level and do my daily chores without any problems whatsoever. Now my lifestyle is that of an invalid. I am always tired, and I cannot even do any normal chores without being doubled up struggling to breathe. I curse the day I ever entered Dr. Matthew Deluzio's office.
