May 23, 2019Karen C.Verified patient

Very kind, professional, knowledgeable. It was my First appointment, so not much to say at this point, but overall, a good experience.

April 23, 2019Patricia W.Verified patient

Dr. Pasternack is an extremely competent and highly experienced doctor. His bedside manner is professional and business like with a touch of humanity and humor that makes a sensitive and personal examination bearable. More than anything, he gives you the confidence to endure a colonoscopy with the satisfaction of getting it done. I am about to go for my second check-up with Dr. Pasternack and am concerned, not about the examination, but with the results, as any patient would. If my diagnosis came back poorly, I would have full confidence Dr. Pasternak would steer me in the right direction with full and complete options available to me. I have full faith and confidence in the doctor and his entire staff.

June 15, 2018Mary M.Verified patient

DR. Pasternak is the best doctor I've ever came across. Very thorough, professional, kind, considerate. Had to see him about 5 times in the last few months and every single time he took his time and explained everything. I never felt rushed. His whole staff is like that too. The nurses, the ladies at the reception area, the anesthesiologist... The whole office runs like a well oiled machine. I can only wish, all my doctors were like him and his practice.. Highly recommended.

March 9, 2017Csilla P.Verified patient

The office was kind and professional. Dr. Pasternak has excellent bedside manner and is thoughtful, and thorough. A very pleasant experience comparably speaking.

September 13, 2016Robert S.Verified patient

June 9, 2016Christine G.Verified patient

Dr Pasternak is excellent. He is knowledgable, efficient, professional and has a great bedside manner. He is outside of my insurance carrier's plan but I am both impressed and satisfied enough to keep coming back.
