Good doctor
8/1/2025
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.
7/30/2025
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.

7/28/2025
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.
7/24/2025
Excellent knowledge of cardiac care and treatment.
7/19/2025
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.

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.

5/13/2025
Everyone who attends was good. Everything is perfect. Everything was perfect.
5/9/2025
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.
5/9/2025
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.

Dr. Passi is an excellent, excellent cardiologist. I couldn't be happier with him.
4/19/2025
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.
4/19/2025
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.
4/18/2025
Dr. Passi is very knowledgeable. He's very caring and our whole family goes there. We're lucky to have him. Thank you.
