  • Dr. Pasternik is always great with my boys. He answers all of our questions and keeps us well informed about any diagnosis and procedures. My boys like him because he talks to them not about them and always listens to their concerns if/ when they have any.

  • Dr. Pasternak and Megan, APN worked as a team to support my concerns pertaining to my child's symptoms and took their time with my concerns and questions. They both consulted with other practitioners and specialties as needed and are dedicated to gathering insight and answers regarding my child's symptoms. Excellent care, excellent team.

  • Dr. Pasternak was very helpful with the issue at hand. When we talked about different ways to treat, he was very receptive of why I wanted to avoid one route based on family history. We talked about each option, the pros and cons and any side effects medicine could have.

  • Dr Pasternak is wonderful. He explains things so you can understand them, makes you feel at ease, and shows concern/care for the entire family. I have felt very comfortable with him as our provider since we met in the hospital and he was caring and empathetic toward baby AND mom. He has continued to demonstrate these attributes and we are grateful to have him as our provider.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
