Very thorough, and the doctor took the time to talk to me and not brush me off like most doctors do. He was very down to earth. Also I didn't feel the needles at all for blood work and a tetanus shot. Both were quick and completely painless.

April 26, 2018Brian C.Verified patient
Great 1st appointment with this doctor. Everything from great location with parking to friendly receptionist and nurse. Dr. Pastena was a genuinely caring man who spent a significant amount of time with me to discuss my health & nutrition. Lab work and EKG were done on the spot - saving me the time of additional appointments.

I went for a physical that was required by a volunteer opportunity I wanted to do. They simply want to ensure I can lift items, jump, walk, perform moderate physical activity, etc. Instead of having me do any movements and signing the form, the doctor required me to schedule an entirely new appointment to do bloodwork and more. It seemed like a waste of time for a simple physical. I'm not sure what the point in me booking the first appointment was if he was simply going to have me make another one to return another day. Not too satisfied but he was professional in the actual room.

I was impressed by his attentiveness to detail, his knowledge, and the thoroughness of his examination. I moved into the area about a year ago and have been looking for a family doctor or GP since then and feel I have made the right choice.

Dr. Pastena and staff are professional, charismatic, kind and most importantly friendly. I am very grateful to have found a doctor of old traditional values in today's desensitized time. He ROCKS!!! Thank you for the Zocdoc!
