Domenico Cortellessa Petronio M.D.

Dear Mrs. Petronio and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Dom's passing. He was my life line for so many years. My oldest son is now 33 years old and my youngest just turned 31, so we have many years of experience with Dom as their pediatrician. He touched so many lives and will remembered by so many people. May God continue to bless you all as He blessed all of us who had any contact with Uncle Dom.

Dear Mrs. Petronio,
I was very sorry to hear about Dr. Petronio. I am a pediatrician who trained at Hasbro a few years ago. I will always remember how much his patients loved and admired him and trusted his judgement implicitly. The biggest lesson I learned from him was the importance of truly listening to your patients. He will be missed!

In 1971 my youngest son Jim was very ill. Dr Petronio was a resident and made my son well again. From then on my 5 children saw only 'Uncle Dom". When my oldest son got out of the Navy in 1980 I called Uncle Dom and asked him to refer my son to a doctor. Dr Petronio said "What's wrong with me?" I said you are a pediatrician and Bill is 22 years old. The good Doctor said 'I have been taking care of him all his life. I'm not gonna stop now!

Well my son Jim died on January 31 at 42...

I am sorry I could not express my sympathy in person as I am in Florida for the season. I have fond memories of Uncle Dom and his many nieces and nephews he had in his practice. I know he will be rewarded for all the good he done for his children in his practice.

To the family of Dr. "Dom" Petronio,
My children and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Petronio. His kind, skilled, and insightful care was a staple in our lives from 1985 until his retirement. Dr. Petronio guided my family through many (sometimes serious) illnesses, often providing comfort with just his presence. Among the many fond memories of Dr. Petronio, one stands out. After bringing my youngest child to the office with yet another bout of illness, Dr P noticed that my...

To the family of Dr.Petronio, I am so sorry for your loss. When I was only 3 years old I almost died of severe allergic reactions & am only alive today because of Dr. Petronio! He helped my family and I through bouts of asmetic broncitis & more allergy attacks. I will be forever grateful for such a smart, kind, loving man. Later in life when I had children of my own, I knew exactly who their pediatrician would be! We were so sad to see him retire, but I am grateful for the short time my...
