Dr. Jennifer Cleair Passini, MD

does not listen

Jennifer seemed distracted and irritable during a routine physical. My concern as a consumer, she gives me pause to her ability as a physician for non-routine care.

I hope you don't ever get stuck talking to her nurse by the name of "Petra." She comes off as insensitive and unprofessional. There is a large communication gap between the people who answer the phones and the message recipient. I have had a problem every single time I have relayed a message.

Ease in getting an appointment:Didn't have trouble getting one at all, but had trouble getting one in a timely manner. Had to seek help elsewhere in the meantime.Waiting time during a visit: Admitted to her office punctually, but had to wait a bit for the doctor herself. (The guy before me was admitted to the office fifteen minutes late. He didn't arrive early, however, as I did.)Courtesy and professionalism of office staff:Most of her staff was fine. Her main nurse, however, was obstructive on the two occasions I encountered her.Accuracy in diagnosing a problem:Maybe not applicable, considering she hasn't diagnosed anything so far. On the other hand, she hasn't really checked anything either.Bedside manner (caring):Okay.Spending enough time with me:I have to think she rather a slough-off. She seems to do the absolute minimum she can get away with.Following up as needed after my visit:Reluctant to schedule a follow-up visit.How long was your wait at the office?No significant past the… scheduled appointment time in the lobby, between five and ten minutes waiting alone in the doctor's office.

I've only met with this doctor once, but so far my experience contradicts that reported in an earlier review.Dr. Passini seemed to resent having to see me at all and was very impatient about hearing me out and dismissive about my concerns and pain. She didn't seem at all interested in including me in decisions about medical procedures to which I was subjected.

Takes time to explain and discuss all issues and concerns, carries you along in whatever decision process in addressing your health concerns ... simply excellent doctor
