Dr Passi is very responsible doc, always got back to me about medication refills, new prescriptions, and questions, even on the weekends . Also managed to see me when I called last minute due to the work/appointment conflict. Very well known for his good work, so I feel like I'm always in good hands. No complaints whatsoever.

I have heart disease running through my family, so I'm always worried about my health. Dr Passi treated my mother and I believe this is a reason why she is still around. I also see him as my cardiologist, and I always feel confident that I'm in good hands. He is very busy but I believe this is a good thing because patients want to see a good doctor, so you can definitely tell he is the best one. He also performs procedures, therefore he will be with you every step of the way.
