Dr. Haleh Pazwash, MD

I started seeing Dr. Pazwash 15 years ago and loved her. We had to switch doctor’s because of insurance. I called the office on Thursday telling them that I had a food impaction. No one called me so I called today. It’s Sunday and I haven’t eaten in 6 days and have barely been able to get liquids down. Dr. Pazwash was the covering doctor. I saw her for something about a year ago and that day she was extremely dismissive and I felt like I was wasting her time. I told my husband (also a prior patient) that she must have been having a bad day. So today Dr. Pazwash calls me and says, “What is it you need?” Talk about abrupt. I explained that I have a food impaction & I haven’t eaten in six days and I am severely dehydrated and weak. She says, “Go to the office tomorrow.” I said Dr. I am so weak & dehydrated. She said then I guess go to the ER. I said will you call them to let them know I’m coming and she absolutely NOT! My husband couldn’t believe it was Dr. Pazwash!

I waited two months for my appointment. She ordered an MRI scan and never followed up after numerous attempts of phone calls and I clearly had alarming results. She received my MRI results on the same day they were taken. It’s been almost two weeks and still no follow up from her personally to discuss next steps. Her on call doctor ended up giving me a call after I demanded a call from her staff and she wasn’t helpful at all.

Not sure why this Dr orders tests for suspected abnormalities. Had 2 tests - ultrasound and MRI and waited a week! for the results. The facility sent results same day to Dr. Pazwash's office and no one cared to call me. Also have had issues with not getting a call back after contacting the answering service and leaving a message. No covering doctor called at all. Overall, not enough attention paid to the patient!!

Dr Pazwash rushed through a colonoscopy and endoscopy consultation. Only talked about colonoscopy. Didn’t read that I needed to schedule endoscopy. Later called to do endoscopy consult over the phone to cover her tracks . She and her office had doubts if my insurance would cover procedure. I had my insurance call them. They argued over coverage and then Pazwash office says Yes we take your insurance. But then the next day Pazwash herself said my insurance isn’t accepted. A day later they came back and said they would accept my insurance. I cancelled then tried to get an appointment with a different Dr at GANJ and they said Pazwash is part of their group but bc I saw her for the consultation they cannot allow me to see any of their doctors in their GANJ group. So now I can’t see drs that my insurance covers bc the GANJ group won’t let me go to anyone else. Pazwash barely let me ask questions. Rushed the consultation. Staff is impatient, talks over me and texts on the job. Bad news.

Very poor. Difficult office staff. Dr Pazwash spends little time and fails to correctly diagnose. She’s in a hurry to move on to next patient, prescribes incorrect medication. Doesn’t follow up. Poor doctor. Would like to give minus star.

I waited 5 months to get an appt with Dr. Pazwash for Gastro issues. The day before my appt. her office called to say that any follow up visits would. have to be 6 - 7 months away and did I still want to come in. I was offered another doctor in the office. Why make an appointment if you can't follow up? At the exam, she took my history then sent me for a Cat Scan. The visit seemed very rushed with her but she had time to schedule me for a colonoscopy 4 months later - and her office nurse who gave procedure instructions was very brusque and rushed as well. Dr. Pazwash didn't follow up with me, instead asking her office staff to call me with results. When I asked the staff questions about my results as well as next steps, they couldn't answer them and didn't offer to have the doctor follow up. All in all, it was a wasted visit. I cancelled the colonoscopy appt since I don't feel this doctor had any regard for my issues and concerns.

I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Pazwash on a Monday. At 4:16 pm the Friday before, her office messaged me to say one of the products they sold me for my prep had been recalled. The FDA said it had a bacterial contamination and should be discarded. Dr. Pazwash’s office gave no instructions. I immediately called the office (201-523-4141), and it was closed. I spoke to the answering service and asked for a return call. No one called. The next day I put two messages in my patient portal. No one responded. The next day—Sunday, the day of my prep—I called the office again, and the answering service assured me that Dr. Pazwash would be alerted. She never responded. My colonoscopy was four days ago. To date no one has asked me what I did about the recalled product, one of 32 brands recalled. If Dr. Pazwash doesn’t want to return patients’ calls on weekends, she should stop doing colonoscopies on Mondays or change professions.

Dr. Pazwash found an issue that 4 other physicians misdiagnosed. She is highly knowledgeable and thorough.

Dr. Pazwash is caring, a great diagnostican, and is very knowledgeable. She has been my GI Dr. For about 17 years.

Dr. Pazwash is extremely professional, confidence inspiring, caring, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Her staff is also professional and courteous. My husband and I have been her patients for years and are grateful to have Dr. Pazwash as our gastroenterologist.

My husband and I had procedures done by Dr. Pazwash. We truly like her a lot. She is very thorough and has a super great bedside manner. She takes time to listen doesn’t rush into unnecessary testing. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend her.

I had my colonoscopy today with Dr Pazwash. Everything from start to finish went well and was handled in an ultra clean and safe environment. Very pleased and would highly recommend Dr Pazwash.

I refer everyone I know to Dr Pazwash. She is a talented diagnostician. My issues with my digestive health were serious, painful and masked by other health problems. Dr. Pazwash testing and surgical talent brought me through to full digestive health! I follow up with her when the need arises and find that she continues to take the time to listen and document my responses and probes with questions that bring my problem to light. Even on my last appointment, that she conducted online, I didn't feel rushed and she arrived at a treatment with ease that is already addressing/mitigating my problem. Thank you Dr. Pazwash as always, for your professional , thoughtful manner and expertise.

Virtual appointment consultation was exceptional

I have been using Dr. Pazwash for a few years for my colonscopies and have referred her to EVERYONE I know....My daughter and I both love her. So easy to talk to, comforting, and very on top of her skills. If you haven't gone for a colonoscopy due to finding a Dr., you must give Dr. Pazwash a call.

Excellent physician in every way. Wonderful staff as well!

I am a new patient and very happy to be a patient of Dr. Pazwash. I have received excellent care from Dr. Pazwash.
