Last week I vented about a bad medical experience, and I’m humbled by how many of you had good advice and even reached out with referrals. 

I feel bad that I even had to post that. So I want to make a post highlighting a doctor that I think deserves their flowers. 

Alexander Kastakin is a cardiologist in Fair Lawn who runs a private practice and is very insurance-friendly. In the modern state of healthcare, it’s very hard to find a doctor who devotes enough time and care towards you while not having insurance barriers holding them back or a schedule that someone else makes for them. 

All 4 of my grandparents started getting heart attacks in their early 30’s. They all died of their 4th/5th one by their 50’s. None of them smoked or drank, I do both, and am getting closer to 30 than I’d like. I started to develop early stage heart disease problems but under Dr Kastakin’s care I’m very close to my normal age range now. 

Dr Kastakin will accept whatever insurance you have and during your appointment he will be very patient and thorough, and not only get to know your medical history but you as a person. 

You genuinely feel like he cares about your health and wants the best for you. His nurse and secretary are both talented and kind. 

Also, he’s a Russian immigrant who was a doctor in Moscow until he immigrated in his 30’s. I can tell that he’s worked very hard to be where he is today. Nothing but positive experiences with professionals that come from Russian/slavic backgrounds especially in the medical field.
