DR. DELUCA’S APPROACH

Dr. DeLuca’s approach to patient care is uniquely personal and his philosophy is simple: always listen to the patient. He notes that ‘far too often the surgical result is the surgeon’s vision, not the patient’s goal.’ Patient expectations are always addressed and treatment options are tailored to the individual’s goals. Dr. DeLuca’s dedication to his patients is reflected in the mutual respect and trust of the doctor-patient relationship. Day or night, he is always available to his patients.

While very busy in his professional life, Dr. DeLuca contributes much of his personal time to both community and national organizations. His passion for outdoor activities includes cycling, mountain climbing, rock climbing and motorcycle trips.

He has authored many scientific articles in major medical journals, and makes frequent appearances on both local and national television for his devoted work with breast cancer patients and children with facial deformities.
