Patient Reviews
Sep 26, 2023
Excellent doctor!!! I was having a lot of trouble with fever cough and periods of shortness of breath for over 2 weeks. I was previously seen by another doctor and had just finished a round of antibiotics. He was kind enough to fit me in on his lunch hour. Diagnosed with pneumonia! He was patient, kind, caring and understanding of how bad I was feeling!!! Follow up is scheduled! His staff was also kind! I would highly recommend him for a pulmonologist!
