To The Editor:
If all physicians were like eye physician Dr. Domenic J. Pastore, the American health care system would be in far better condition than it is.
On March 8, I was experiencing an eye emergency, and did not really know what to do. At 9:30 a.m., I placed a call to Pastore’s answering service. Remember, this was a Sunday morning, time when many people, including professionals like doctors, sleep late or are engaged in other activities.
I thought I would have to wait long hours until I got an answer.
At 9:35 a.m., just five minutes after I called, Dr. Pastore personally returned my call. I was astounded.
After I explained my symptoms, he reassured me, and told me to meet him at his Northfield office at noon.
His kindness and treatment helped me greatly. I highly recommend Pastore to anyone in need of eye care.
