"What
I like most about Pulmonary
Medicine is the people... the patients
and their families, my colleagues, and
our office staff.
Laypersons need to be aware that many
illnesses may have initial symptoms
involving the Respiratory System, and
attention to these details is so
important in diagnosing the underlying
cause of respiratory issues."
