"To whom it may concern, Good evening, I am contacting you in regards to Dr. Stephen T. Cestari license # 209472. The experience my daughter and I had with him was utterly unprofessional, disgusting and disheartening. I will continue to send this letter to all his affiliates in order to remind him to never break his oath to provide care to those in need. It is not a choice, it is a promise he made. On August 8th, 2021, he broke that oath. With that being said, upon arrival at St. Luke's Montefiore Newburgh 6th floor OB/Labor, my daughter Antoinette Lewis was admitted during active labor. We were introduced to Dr. Cestari after the nursing staff made her comfortable to prepare for the birth of my granddaughter. He was previously informed that my daughter did not want the covid test to be administered and agreed to universal precautions which included wearing masks when the hospital staff entered the room. We remained compliant. Dr. Cestari made contact with my daughter and began gathering ...
her medical history. Shortly after he stated, “we have a problem, I need you to take the covid test or I cannot treat you”. I responded, “what do you mean you won’t treat her if she doesn't have the covid test done? ” I continued “does this mean you won't deliver the baby?” His answer was an astonishing “yes, I won’t treat her.” This is absolutely unacceptable. This is an intentional act of patient abandonment, neglect, retaliation, unethical medical practice and care, violation of human rights, liberties and bullying. Dr. Cestari also prolonged care to my daughter by leaving the room when I became upset as any parent/grandparent would who is advocating for the wellbeing of their family and when that wellbeing is questionable at risk. He then instructed the nursing supervisor to inform me that he would deliver the baby if I was not in the room. My daughter and I respectfully declined. The hospital had to contact another Dr. who was at home to respond to deliver my granddaughter. Dr. Cestari did not return to my daughter’s room at any time. He should not be allowed to selectively treat patients who require care. In this case, my daughter delivering her first child who was already in active labor and 4cm dilated. He took an oath to service humanity. This act by Dr. Cestari is the opposite of the pledge he made. There is and always will be emotional trauma associated with the birth of my beautiful granddaughter because of Dr. Cestari. "
