About Ellen C. Pastrano, MD
Patient care is based on a partnership towards a common goal that not only enriches the patient, but also continuously enlightens the physician. Helping others was instilled in me as a growing child and being in the medical field, I believe, is the noblest way to help. I enjoy spending my spare time with my family, dancing and singing karaoke.

Dr. Pastrano is an EXCEPTIONAL doctor! I am so blessed to have her as my physician. She is smart, friendly, and compassionate. She takes the time to build relationships with me and my special needs adult daughter. I feel that she cares about us and has our best interests in mind. If she doesn't know an answer, she researches it, consults with a colleague, or refers to a specialist. She is very responsive to messages sent via the portal and video appointments. I look forward to our appointments and getting to see her.

My doctor was amazing. It was my first appointment with her, and I felt like she really cared and was interested in everything I had to say about my health and well-being as a person and not just a number in her practice.
