This was my [...] appointment with the doctor seen for my [...] [...] and was impressed and pleased. Her professionalism, knowledge and rapport added to my gaining more knowledge about the condition. My concerns about which mask to use was totally left for my decision per her encouragement. As long as it did the job. I liked that she allowed me to talk and I wasn't rushed. My experience will encourage timely future visits and recommendations.

I had to call several times before I could stay on hold long enough to speak with someone. I had a very hard time actually finding the clinic, despite being somewhat familiar with the building. The pulmonary center is not on the directory so I could not find it. The messages I received gave me the street number but not the suite. There was no one at the 2nd floor information desk to ask which suite it might be (later there was an attendant). When I explained this to the pulmonary office staff the men were RUDE! First, they contradicted me, telling me I hadn't looked on the directory under "p" for pulmonary. They gave me 4 different similar reasons this was my fault. After I left the clinic, I rechecked the directory kiosk to make sure I was mistaken. I felt very disrespected by the first people I met at the clinic.
