    One of the best practitioners as are so many in the lung transplant clinic. She, Dr Leard, is as good as it gets.

    That question is very rhetorical. Of course I would recommend them to friends family and anyone else that asked where I had my treatment.

    We have always felt that we are included as an active participant in our care. Always have any/all questions answered. I hope I never meet anyone who has the need for a transplant, but should that happen, I wouldn't hesitate at recommending UCSF.
