What Our Patients Are Saying

Elizabeth Rose

Dr. Pastore is a compassionate, highly-skilled physician whose guidance is invaluable to me. Over several years, Dr. Pastore has sculpted my treatment plan based on what is his unusual ability to address my not only my physical issues but also, my emotional needs. After visiting a number of hematologists, I feel very lucky to have Dr. Pastore as my doctor. His staff is also warm, technically skilled and always welcoming.

My first time there. I simply could not be more pleased with the very helpful and friendly staff. As for Dr. sadoughi ... he turned out to be wonderful. In fact, he is my choice for my new doctor. I can’t vouch for the other doctors at this practice, but I can and will vouch for him. One of the things that immediately jumped out at me was the fact that, unlike so many other doctors out there, Dr Sadoughi didn’t merely pretend to listen ... he actually listened to me, and heard what I had to say. It simply doesn’t get any better than that.
