Dr. Jason Pachman is a general practitioner at Mt. Sinai. He is a youthful 45 and has been in practice for about 15 years. I have seen him for 6 or 7 years now and can honestly say that he is the best doctor I've ever had -- for the following reasons:
1) He has an enormous range of knowledge about each and every disease and malady a person can suffer, and always has useful recommendations about what to do or who to see next in each case.
2) He follows up carefully about every little thing you've talked about as if he were a family member rather than just a hired consultant.
3) He answers email, sometimes voluminously. I resisted one of his recommendations and got hundreds of words in my inbox carefully arguing why I wrong. Very few people can change my mind as quickly as he can.
4) You can call his direct number whenever you like so as to avoid insensitive or incompetent office staff.
5) He makes sure his office staff is competent, sensitive and friendly. They usually remember my first name, which makes things easier.
6) When I needed a letter of recommendation to help get my fiance here from Berlin, he sacrificed lots of free time and came up with a beautiful letter even though he knew he wouldn't be paid for his effort.
It's a miracle when you meet someone so generous that it haunts you to realize that you'll never be able to give back to him what he has so willingly given to you. read more
