Andrew Pastor, MD

Doctor Pastor surgically repaired a complete tear of my right rotator cuff. He clearly explained the process and what I should expect, so I was very well prepared going into surgery. While my surgery was extensive, I experienced very little pain, and am well on the path to a full recovery. Great doctor!

My visit with Dr. Pastor was very pleasant, informative, educational and most of all caring. Dr. Pastor and the whole staff from check in, to check out and everything in between was such a delightful experience. I knew I came to the right place. I’m actually looking forward to my continued care and solving my orthopedic issues now and for anytime into my future if needed. Thank you!

From day one I have been extremely impressed with doctor pastor. He made me feel very confident and comfortable with the procedure i was facing and his post op care and willingness too answer detailed questions has been appreciated.

Dr. Pastor took care of my elderly mother-in-law who had a serious elbow break from a fall. His care was outstanding, but his compassion was equally if not more so appreciated. My mother-in-law healed very well, and she could not say enough about how much she valued his explanations and kindness.

I saw Dr. Pastor for a shoulder injury.

I walked away with the following impression of him:

1.He’s very observant and seems to genuinely care about his patients.

2.He was very professional in a relaxed way, which for someone like me, and my personality, this was the right approach ; he's confident, but not arrogant, which is rare nowadays.

3.I did not feel rushed, which was a bit surprising.

For me, he took the time to dig for clarifying information and listen to my concerns. I actually feel like he heard me my concerns.I got a feeling he did not judge me, and actually listened with empathy.

Pastor allowed me to give my input on the care plan we put in place: for someone like me, it’s very important to me to be part of the solution.

He also helped me incorporate other exercises as part of my care.

Normally, I don’t leave these types of reviews; however , I was impressed with his overall approach to care of my shoulder. : and it takes a lot to impress me..

I recommend to give him a chance.

Particularly if you’re a control freak like me : I think you’ll like this particular doctor’s approach..

Dr. Pastor is absolutely the best! He is smart, caring and kind. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of an orthopedic shoulder doctor.

As a healthcare professional working in a hospital setting, I recently suffered an elbow injury while carrying out my duties. Being a physical therapist, it is essential that I am able to safely utilize my arms to provide physical assistance to my patients, ensuring their safety and optimizing treatment outcomes. So, I was determined to find the most skilled professional who could accurately diagnose my condition and provide optimal recommendations for a prompt recovery.
Dr. Pastor stands out as an exemplary practitioner with full of knowledge, a compassionate approach, and unwavering support. During each of my visits, he attentively listened to my concerns and consistently motivated me to strive for my recovery goals. Thanks to his expertise, I consider myself fortunate to have made significant progress and am now able to resume my work, almost back to my baseline condition.
Without hesitation, I would confidently recommend Dr. Pastor to my family, friends, and patients who may be seeking the best doctors specializing in upper extremity problems. His exceptional skills and caring demeanor make him an invaluable choice.

Dr Pastor is an excellent orthopedic surgeon and specialist. Extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to and willing to listen. I highly recommend him and I will continue to use him for any future needs.

Dr. Pastor had a lovely bedside manner, educating me about my condition and treatment options. I not only learned a lot, but also left with an alternative plan of care, less risky for the long-term health of my shoulder joint. You’re in good hands with Dr. Pastor!

Dr. Pastor did a fantastic job repairing my collarbone that was fractured in four places. My accident happened right before the holidays and Dr. Pastor fit me in which I was incredibly grateful for. He was great at answering all of my questions throughout the time of my treatment and recovery under his care. I appreciated the opportunity to do video visits to check in on my recovery, which was much more convenient than traveling in for an appointment. Thank you, Dr. Pastor!

I visited my surgeon today, Dr Pastor. I trusted this man completely and he did not disappoint. I had a fall and he responded quickly and I had an appointment right away. Dr Pastor is always empathetic and listens to my concerns attentively. Since the first time I met him after my rotator cuff tear, to today, he has been shown to be above the standard. I would say he is the gold standard in the care of rotator cuff tears. I would advise anyone who presents to him for care…. Don’t worry….you are in the best hands.

Dr. Pastor did my shoulder replacement surgery three months ago and did a wonderful job! My physical therapist is amazed at my progress in rehabbing the shoulder. I’ve had no issues at all with the surgery or the rehab. I’ve already increased my range of motion to much more than before the surgery. Dr. Pastor is very caring and committed to helping me get the best possible outcome from my surgery. If you need a new shoulder, he is THE guy to see!

My experience with Dr Andrew Pastor was amazing! His interactions are sincere and unrushed. He makes sure that all your questions are answered before you leave. He explains your condition very clearly so you have the information to make the best decision for your care. He performed a rotator cuff repair on a complete tear in my right shoulder. I am still receiving PT but am healing well. I had complicated pain issues because I could not take Tylenol or Naprosyn. He was very compassionate about my pain and managed it well. I would highly recommend him to any person contemplating shoulder care of any kind.

Dr. Pastor was wonderful. He wasn’t the closest surgeon to me but was the soonest available so I traveled to Edmonds even though it was a drive. He fixed my arm when the bone is broken in 2. He did his best to get me in as soon as possible because of the extreme pain I was in. He is very knowledgeable, his bedside manner is great, I never felt rushed in any appointment and he always answered all my questions. His nurses and staff have all been very pleasant and friendly, I can’t think of my experience with them going any better than it did. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone.

Knowledgeable and efficient doctor. Good advice for healing arm bone fracture and exercise advice.

Dear Dr. Pastor,
Thank you! Thank you! The cortisone shot has reduced the pain in my knee at least 90%. I can now get on with healing my hip completely. It’s hard to believe that such a painlessly shot has worked so well in 24 hours. Now I will be cooking my thanksgiving dinner for my husband and myself, which I thought was impossible before you suggested it on Tuesday. I wish you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Professional yet personable care. Inspires confidence.
Update as of 8.22.22. 9 months post surgery following an injury causing a massive rotator cuff tear and bicep damage, Dr. Pastor continues to care and take care. I had some concerns with my shoulder, he promptly ordered an MRI, explained what was happening and reassured me that my rotator cuff was fully healed. He is an excellent surgeon, doctor and person in general. I recommend him to anybody who has shoulder problems.

My husband has had a great experience with Dr. Andrew Pastor. He is an experienced shoulder replacement surgeon, in our case. He communicates well and does well with the follow up appointments. Also, works well with his physical therapist whom Dr. Pastor recommended. He listens to my husbands concerns and encourages well.

Dr Pastor was very pleasant and open to all my questions regarding my shoulder surgery. The procedure was handled in a very professional manner, resulting in no complications and very limited pain post surgery. Based on my experience with him and the clinic I would highly recommend them!

If you are in need of an orthopedic doctor, put Dr Pastor at the top of you list!! He is very professional, listens (really ), and gives you easy to understand treatment options. Surgery was not even mentioned as one of options, imagine that, instead P/T, follow up and and a cortisone shot in troubled location to aid in gaining mobility. If that doesn’t work come back in 4 week to be re-evaluated. A breath of fresh air in a cut first, I need a pool mentality!
