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.

I’ve been going to Dr Pastan for the past 5 years. Always on time and very helpful. Takes the time to talk to you instead of to a computer. Very knowledgeable and involves you in the care decision process

I've only seen this doctor once and I thought that finally in the New England area, I would find at least a decent one. I got the medication that I needed and told to call my insurance to have them send paperwork to start the approval process. I did and got confirmation that it was sent to the Dr office. I called and was told 'No we do not have anything" and in the back ground the I heard the doctor say "Well she changed doctors" 1. Don't say that in the background in from of pother patients and 2 no I did not. Rude and incapable in the 21st century

I was recommended to Dr Pastan by my PCP, Dr Pastan is one of the best Dr I have seen, I've been seeing him for my RA for 9 years, whenever I call with a issue about my RA he calls me right back or will squeeze me in to see him, Dr Pastan is a very caring and understanding Dr, I would highly recommend him. He has helped me deal with my RA so much

When I first had a symptom of RA I could barely walk. I called to make an appointment with Dr. Pastan and he had a cancellation so I saw him right away. He examined me, asked me a lot of questions and explained that I either had an infection or that I had Rheumatoid Arthritis. He gave me prescriptions to help with the swelling and pain and sent me for blood work. I have been seeing Doctor Pastan for 10 years and I am so glad my PCP recommended him. He is wonderful.
