“Dr. Pass is an excellent doctor. I was assigned to him by my primary care physician. When I first visited him, he put my family and I at ease by describing us what needs to be done and how he would perform the operation. At the operation day he came into my room to talk with me and my family, explaining us the procedures. Because he is a very skilled surgeon, my operation went extremely well. After the surgery he followed up with me in the hospital, a very rare thing for an NYC doctor! It was nice to see that my doctor really cared about me. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Pass as a doctor. His staff at NYU Hospital is awesome as well.”
