Yes, I'm very happy with my doctor. Can't say anything bad about him. He's always been there for me, and even when I was in the hospital, before he come down to visit me, which had nothing to do with his office, and he's a great doctor, okay? That's all.
Jason was thoughtful in responding to my comments and questions, as well as suggestions on how I might improve my cardio profile.
Dr.Wasfy spent time reviewing my medical history, quickly identified the problems, and came up with a solution. He clearly enjoyed cracking the mystery and took pride in solving a challenging medical condition. He shared genuine happiness when seeing my condition improve significantly since my last visit. I am very grateful to him.
Dr Wasfy has provided first class care as my cardiologist.
Dr. Jason Wasfy has been my cardiologist for over 15 years. I can tell that he takes my care personally and makes me feel like I'm the only person at the hospital. Thank you very much, Dr. Wasfy. You're the best.

He was very in tune with my health issues and eager to help me. Very thorough.
Great experience and care !
Dr. Wasfy is very thorough. He explains everything in detail so that I can understand it. I think he's a great cardiologist and I have recommended him many times to family and friends. Thank you.
Dr. Wasfy has been a wonderful doctor since I first met with him about 10 years ago. He and his NP [redacted] are very attentive and patient and are always encouraging any questions that I may have. I think the world of both of them and I feel very fortunate to have them as my cardiology team.
