    Dr Leard is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She treats me as an intelligent equal in my own care.she showed me a series of CT Scans of my lungs, recent and far past, in order to help me understand my current condition.

    Great experience. After entering room,Dr. Laird immediately asked what did I want to talk about/ or what questions I had. She then answered each question separately & thoroughly. She checked my medical records &medications &agreed to consult with the transplant team regarding further treatment.

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