Dr. Pastan is knowledgeable and compassionate; a great combination. He asks great, relevant questions, and he is quick to understand our situation. He immediately does what he says he will do. While we are on the video call, we get the new Rx. We appreciate him and recognize the quality of care he provides.

Dr Pastan has been my nephrologist for 25 years and is the best, most caring and conscientious doctor I have ever had. He has saved my life at least two times, assisted me through a kidney transplant and treated my mother while she was on dialysis prior to her death. I have recommended Dr Pastan to numerous patients.

I have been coming to Dr. Stephen Pastan for almost thirty years now, ever since my endocrinologist detected that I had a severe case of kidney disease and she referred me to him. An arthritis medicine had thrown me into Stage 3 Kidney Disease! I could no longer take ANY nsaids and I suffer from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis! I had to learn how to grin and bear the pain in order to protect my kidneys! On top of it all, I have the world's worst veins and would NEVER be able to do dialysis! Dr. Pastan says that I am his best patient, because I do EVERYTHING he tells me to do exactly!! I have to do it to avoid dialysis! Thirty years later and I am still in Stage 3 and very stable! I am only allowed 6 ounces of protein per day, but I don't care; it's not that important. I drink only water and plenty of it! I've always been the designated driver and that was fine with me. Dr. Pastan has saved my life and is keeping me alive and healthy!

Dr. Pastan paid more attention to typing his patient notes than actually getting to know me. He was very "matter of fact" and used the cookie-cutter method when giving medical advise. His bedside manner could use some polishing. He received a phone call, answered it, and had a conversation during my appointment. He listened to my heart and lungs, pressed on my right side of my abdomen, and asked was there anything else he could do for me.

Dr. Pastan was AMAZING! He was covering for regular physician who was out sick with COVID. The time he took was priceless and greatly appreciated. When faced with multiple health issues, you greatly appreciate a caring and thorough doctor. Dr. Pastan was asked to be the the ongoing physician. It would be greatly appreciated if more health care providers displayed better bedside manner.
