If he had , he'd have known I was unable to speak, which is the reason I was referred to him. Bluntly told me he wasn't giving me pills and walked out. I had no clue if he was returning to the exam room. He seemed irritated that I was communicating via paper. I wasn't even there for pills. He was rude and dismissive as if I were wasting his time. I left in tears. After much research on my end, I asked my Primary for a different referral.

I was a patient of Dr. Passini way back from early 2012-late 2013. I came to him early in Parkinson's Disease before my actual diagnosis in late 2013 back in So Fla. Dr. Passini was one of the first and only to accurately diagnose me although my tremor was so light that he wouldn't yet commit to a full diagnosis but did prescrip the correct medicine. I went on to be misdiagnosed twice and suffered through stage 4 before DBS Surgery finally cured me of 100% of my symptoms and returned me to myself pre-44 years old. I just wro... read more

I have been a patient of Passini’s since 2010. He was the first and only doctor that considered what and how all my medical ailments might be impacting me as a whole. Yes he ran tests, yes he considered what I explained as symptoms and responded as needed to eliminate the causes. It’s called practicing medicine. I’m a little disappointed by all the negative comments. He’s a great doctor just trying to get to the bottom of what’s wrong with you based on the information you give him. He’s not a mind reader, he’s not going to h... read more

Doctor did not have good bedside manner and we did not get the information and help we were searching for. He abruptly left the exam room and we weren't sure the appointment was over. Uncaring doc!

I was referred to Dr. Passini for Hemifacial spasms. We are still going through testing. I had an MRI with contrast and blood work done and haven't found the issue yet but Dr. Passini hasn't given up and I have faith in him. He is incredibly easy to talk to and is very thorough. He takes all the time you need in an appt to discuss what you are experiencing. I seen a negative review on here and I believe they have the wrong doc since they are from New York. Dr Passini in WAUSAU WI is great!

I was referred to Dr. Passini and was very impressed. Dr. Passini confirmed I had MyastheniaGravis but suspected something more. After a thorough exam he ordered a brain scan and found I had a tumor. After brain surgery they found cancer in the brain and lung, which is treatable. Thanks to Dr. Passini for his being thorough enough to find the whole problem.

He made a diagnosis without a physical exam other than the knee tap (in which 1 side barely moved). He also didn't go over the pages that I had to fill out allowing me to explain or voice my concerns. He did order 2 tests, but both came back neurologically normal. I don't know how that's possible when I was previously told that I have bulging discs in my neck and arthritis. He will not know this though, as since my tests were normal he is done with me.
