Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Pacifico is our cardiologist or over 20 years. He is an excellent doctor. He is patient and kind and has gone the extra mile for us several times. Hightly recommend him!!

Ex patient
I am in excruciating knee pain and due for surgery on January 8th..a knee replacement. Today I get a call from his office that he won't clear me for surgery because he hasn't seen me for 2 years. I have an appointment scheduled in early February (had., I am done). So 11 days before surgery he decides this and doesn't have an appointment until January 15th. It may work out in spite of him. Surely he could have mentioned this when he cleared me in October. The person on the phone was like a robot and obviously didn't care that she had dumped a huge zinger on me. Did not care and couldn't be bothered to help with a solution. Wish I knew her name.

Seems like an excellent cardiologist, so far.
I have great confidence in Dr. Pacifico and recommend him to others. The distsy, perky, PA is a bit of a pharma cheer-leader. Ignor her. LOL!

Dr. Pacifico has been my cardiologist for 9 years since I suddenly needed bypass surgery in Oct 2014. He is kind, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and he listens.

Not attentive to patient needs
I had a few questions after his looking at my test results. He answered them - as quickly as he could - never taking his hand off the door handle. Very rude. Just wanted to get out of my exam room. Terrible way to treat a sick patient.

I always recommend Dr. Pacifico!
Dr, Pacifico and his staff are caring professional who listen. My resistance to taking medicatons was understood and Dr. Pacifico agreed to work with me to find one that would work for me. He and his staff explain everything!

I have been seeing Dr Pacifico for approximately 15 years. He is knowledgeable and compassionate. He spends all the time you need and answers all your questions, which is alway reassuring. He prescribes tests as needed, but I never felt that he was doing an unnecessary test. Most important-he listens to his patients. His office staff is all excellent.

Dr. Pacifico has always addressed my heart issues seriously and given me a high comfort level of his competency. He is warm and friendly and I feel that he always provides me with a genuine concern regarding my heart issues. His nursing staff has always been very sharp and detailed.

Dr. Pacifico literally saved my life on 2004. My wife and just had our first child and I went in for a checkup. After a series of tests that came back clearing me, Dr Pacifico asked if he could do a catheter on me just to be safe - I was 38 at the time. The catheter found 95% blockage in my LAD in a very difficult spot. Dr Pacifico and his Team were able to precisely place a stent that opened up my artery. That was July 15th 2004 and not a day has passed that I don't thank God for Dr. Pacifico. He truly cared about me and did everything he could to get me healthy. I now have three beautiful children thanks to the good Dr. I have also moved to NY and have yet to find a Cardiologist that even compares.

Dr Pacifico saved my life. I had a 3x bypass in Oct 2014. This doctor is not only smart and experienced in cardiology, but one of the nicest human beings around. He listens and answers questions easily. I love the guy.

Without question, he's one of the best Cardiologist there is. He takes the time to talk with you and tell you what you can expect. He is totally a people person.
