We asked Dr. Durante!
- What do patients say about you?
Patients say I am kind, generous, and supportive during challenging times, allowing them to feel heard.
- What is the #1 tip you always share with patient families?
My number one tip I share with patient families is that you’re never alone. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
- How do you spend time with your friends and family for fun?
We are huge New York Yankee fans and tune in to watch almost every game. During the holidays, we love to bake a variety (over 30 kinds) of cookies!
- What do you enjoy most about New Jersey?
I was raised in NJ, so I am definitely a ‘Jersey Girl’ at heart. I enjoy living close to the Jersey Shore and NYC. The pizza and bagels are delicious. And, I love not having to pump my own gas!
