Patient Reviews
Oct 25, 2021
This doctor is absolutely the best doctor I have ever been to in my entire life, not just for pulmonology but in-general. The way he approaches diagnoses is such a thorough approach that shows he listens to you and ACTUALLY cares. You can sense his passion for medicine and pulmonology as a whole. I went in for a chronic cough that doctors were not able to find the cause of and the way he approached my coughing was unlike other doctor. I am so glad I was able to find a doctor like him in the Bay area to continue my care
