Dr PASSI saved my life in the past.... I trust him totally with all my healthcare needs.
Dr. Passi is a very caring doctor. He's very knowledgeable and takes his time with his patients.
Everybody was polite and professional I had some difficulty hearing Dr P
Dr Passi is very kind and helpful, never had any issue to get an appointment. Office staff is very friendly. He cares for his patients like a family.
My Dr Has excellent cognitive and knowledgeable and professional treatment approach towards the Patients.
No, I've been going to Dr. Passi for a few years and every time I went, the service was fine. My appointments and everything, it was very good.
I appreciate that the doctor and his staff review all medications with the patient. They are up-to-date in knowing what testing needs to be done to stay current.
I love Dr. Passi. He's compassionate, kind, and understanding of all my concerns. Thank you.
Very good service. I liked how they treated me. I liked that I didn't have to wait long. I liked that it was on time. I liked everything about them. The staff and doctors were very kind. God bless you. Bye.
I felt listened to and informed, especially by the person who served as translator. That person was very kind and helpful.
Dr. Passi has a wonderful bedside manner. He is very in tuned with his patients. He answers all questions. When I was perplexed about something, he genuinely cared and took his time to explain it. I thoroughly appreciate Dr. Passi and all staff that I have come to know at his agency or at his practice. I am very, very happy with my services. Thank you very much.
Excellent as always.
wait time much improved from last two visits, office less crowded. Support staff while knowledgeable, could be a little more polished in their interactions.
Everything was excellent, thank you very much.
I have already sent him multiple patients and continue to do it because Dr. Passi is the best, most caring, kind and highly competent cardiologist in the entire New Jersey. I wish you had more cardiologist like him in hospital along with Hackensack Meridian group? He is trustworthy and can be reached easily. The staff is phenomenal and they are prompt in responding to your needs.
Dr.Passi has been extremely supportive of me and does not hesitate to explain in detail any questions or concerns I may have. Have the utmost respect for him. Has kept me healthy and I am so grateful I have him as my cardiologist.
Hello, I liked the doctor very much, Dr. Passi, but I had a very hard time understanding him. That's the only problem. I really couldn't understand him too well. I had to have, there was a nurse or somebody in the room when he told me the directions and I had to ask her what he said. I really didn't understand him that well. That's all, but he's a very nice doctor though. Thank you.
Dr Passi is always attentive to questions is needs
Very good.
Good afternoon. I felt wonderful. He's a professional doctor, one of the best doctors. I'd recommend him to all my family members who want to visit him. So have a good time.
I would like to say that everything look, you know, it was okay. He explained to me everything and that's it. Okay. So I recommend it to anybody. That's the path.
They were extremely professional in their handling of my condition and kept me informed every step of the way.
A great doctor listens carefully into details. A great staff, they got me in and out as soon as possible. And I left there very, very, very greatly satisfied.
I waited two hours to see the physician. This is totally unacceptable; Because the appointment was at 1:45 I expected to be out in 1 hour. The physician entered the exam room at 3:40 and haven not eaten and waited almost two hours I was at the point of fainting. This needs to be improved
This office is excellent. I've been going here for quite a few years and the people are amazing, just amazing. They're nice, they're kind, they're on time. Everything about this office is awesome.
The staff is pleasant, friendly and efficient.
Hello, yeah, he's the best doctor I have had for the past 24 years and I like him the best. He takes care of everything and he's very nice. He's down to earth. He answers all your questions. He is a very honest and very good doctor. The best doctor I have. Thank you.
Apart from the male office manager, he was behaving as an office manager. He was very rude and not personable at all. He needs definite classes on sensitivity. Apart from that, the rest of the staff was great. That includes Dr. Passi. He was very savvy and understanding and empathetic with his patients. But certainly I think that office manager needs a class or two of sensitivity and how to work with customers. That's it.
Excellent doctor
He is a very professional doctor.
excellent care
I really like the doctor because he treats me well. When I go, he explains things to me and gives me my medications. I like how he tries to put me at ease, and that's why I really like my doctor.
My Doctor Passi and his entire staff are fantastic.
Good afternoon, thank you very much. I don't think it's necessary to add anything else because everything is correct and well organized. Thank you for the attention you gave me, I'm very happy. Thank you again, and have a good afternoon.
MUST HAVE BEENN GOOD OR I WOULD NOT BE COMING BACK
Dr. Passi is a very intelligent doctor, listens to every issue. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
It is always a pleasant experience, competent and caring staff and my Dr. Passi. Thank you!
With the notes that was placed in my gut by the assistant, none of that was told to me. And I really don't appreciate that because I do have to pay a copay and I wasn't there long.
He is an excellent physician. Thank you.
Physician is knowledgeable.
He is the best cardiologist in New Jersey. I love him and have recommended many many patients, family, and friends to him and will continue to do that. I wish other doctors were as smart and humble as this cardiologist.
Hi, you did everything perfectly, man, I can't complain, right? Okay, thank you very much, you were an efficient professional.
All good, all good, good doctor, may God bless you all out there.
Dr. Passi is an excellent doctor. He needs to do better or the manager needs to do better at hiring people because they are making his office worse. They can't get my prescriptions out on time and I'm constantly calling.
Had to wait over 2 hours because they had an implant dr checking pacemaker
Dr. Passi is a great doctor, however the office staff I find disorganized and all over the place.a couple of weeks ago, I called the office numerous times to have my prescription for an exam signed by the doctor and faxed to another facility. It took four tries before it was done for me. They kept telling me it was done and the facility told me it was not. This is confirming both faxes. The phones are not answered in a professional matter and you can always hear talking and laughing in the background. The staff needs to act more professional and answer the phone as such. Thank you for your time.
All are always very helpful & very personable. Put you at ease.
friendly staff
Being my first visit, it was fruitful and great.
Very diligent and professional
The doctor needs to sit and listen patient queries or ask if any health concerns patient has. The time patient spends waiting for this doctor and the time doctor actually spends with the patient is very disappointing.
Dr. Passi always listens and reply's in a fashion that I can understand.
Dr Passi is a great Dr that cares about his patients and I felt wonderful after seeing him
Best helpful about patient's health problem
Having assistants with him at the time of the consultation who collaborate with the language, in my case it is Spanish, thank you
I just want to say that Dr. Passi has done a great job with me, and I'm able to experience an opportunity to be able to see my grandson, hopefully, because thank God he did what he did for me. So, I'm greatly appreciative towards Dr. Passi for that. Thank you, Dr. Passi.
Excellent knowledge of cardiac care and treatment.
Satisfied with service ,
Great Doctor and staff
Dr Passi and his staff are always courteous and professional for all the years I have been going there

The doctor was very caring and gave me some help about what I should be taking and prescribed a different medication that was prescribed months earlier. Thank you.
Dr Passi is the best physician in the systme , very smart, approchable, I already referred to him all my family,
Dr. Passi saved my life three years ago when I had a heart attack. Dr. Passi is the best doctor in the country. I would highly recommend him. He should come in and get the Nobel Prize for kindness and compassion, and I wish there were more doctors like him. Thank you.
To many patients for only one doctor.
Hi, I just want to say that the provider is very knowledgeable. He's very helpful. He'll go through everything with you and explain if you don't understand something. And I really do like the provider. He knows what he's talking about. The only thing I'm a little unhappy about is the staff at times. They tend not to get back to you when you phone the office or It's hard for you to get a hold of them sometimes. Other than that, everything else is okay.
All went well.
Excellent care from both the staff and the doctor
Pleasant doctors visit
I feel satisfied with the doctor and he has good care and I feel safe with him.
He listens to me and explain me every detail which concerns about my health very clearly.
As always they were great

Great people work there. Dr. Passi listens to what I say. Sometimes I talk too much. I think I worry too much. Quiets me down.
There was no follow-up to see if my prescription needed to be pre-approved before they put it through.
Outstanding experience. Attentive, thorough with great bedside manner. Listened to my concerns and addressed everything clearly. I felt genuinely cared about and left feeling that I was in excellent hands.
The appointment was good. Everything was fine.
Dr. Passi has a very busy practice. That is an indication of a VERY GOOD physician and one that is providing EXCELLENT MEDICINE to his patients. So to wait some time to wait to see this VERY SUPURB physician is in no way an issue for me. He is VERY HIGHLY RESPECTED.
Wasn't positive experience!
He's actually a great doctor. He listened to me very carefully and gave me whatever I need and he did a good job. Thank you.

I left the doctor's office Confused because I was told my Heart is fine, mind you when they checked my blood pressure it was high and my left leg and foot was swollen and I had a headache... Yes, this is great news! However, that was all I was told and the Issue with this is the Statement is not True! There are some problems with my Heart but not enough where I need Pace Maker or a Stent... Otherwise why am I taking all this medication???

Very understanding. Listen with lot of patience.
I was very satisfied with Dr. Passi's office visit. He shows much care and interest into my health and I am very glad that I have him as my doctor. Thank you.
Despite my wait time being a little bit longer, I know Dr. Passi is a superlative physician. He has a busy office and , despite the wait time, is indicative of a good, very good physician, which he is. If he is running a bit behind, I'd rather he spend time with me, rather than rushing me out, not explaining to me, not answering any questions, in a rush to get to the next patient, and the next, and the next, and so on. As long as i've been a patient of his, he has NEVER, EVER done that. He is a GREAT physician that cares and gives the very best of treatment to all of his patients.
You're an absolute, professionally done medical doctor. And I will go back to you a thousand million times if I can.
I couldn't be more pleased with My doctor he listens to me and explains everything perfectly where I can understand I don't have to question it and when I want something he listens to what I have to say
At this moment I am practically without a primary care physician and Dr. Passi helps me with everything I need, that's why I prefer him and I also remember that thanks to him my husband is alive.
always a pleasure to see Dr Passi and his staff
Actually, everything goes very well. When I go there I love my Dr and the staff. They're excellent.
Excellent doctor who listens attentively to the patient's condition, and the medications are always up to date with refills. The staff is also excellent; they schedule the appointment as the doctor orders and at the time that works best for me. Very good team.
He is a magnificent professional and one feels free to consult with him.
The dr & staff were very pleasant & professional. Some language barrier but we managed ok
Everyone from reception to the nurse and of course Dr. Passi were concerned and patient and most importantly, very professional.
Very helpful
They gave me a contract based on experience, so I can't complain. You're doing very well this time, and after doing something more, well, perfect, even better.
Everyone was very professional.
Dr. Passi is wonderfully caring and competent. I've already referred many friends to him .
Clear compassionate treatment.
I have known my doctor for many years and he always cares about me.
There is no better provider than Dr. Passi. He's the best.
Dr. Passi was great. He was able to see me within the hour that my primary care called him to see if they could see me for clearance for surgical clearance for an impromptu surgical procedure that I needed. So he was very accommodating and kind.
Very long waiting time. Long waiting time.
Good doctor
