Dr Pappas has provided me with excellent care. And he shed light on another medical issue that had been missed by another doctor. His suggestion to me and my primary provider lead to additional tests and hopefully a resolution to a very painful condition.

My only issue is that I can not schedule the 6 month follow up appt requested by my provider 6 months out. Apparently his calendar does not go out beyond June and my next appt should be made for August. It is best for me, and others I would guess, to schedule future appts as soon as requested so I don't forget. Otherwise everything is perfect and I am so very grateful to have excellent pulmonary care from Dr Pappas. Thank you.

Dr. Pappas was very well prepared for my visit, he had all the records at hand and was fully read up on the latest developments. He ordered an X-ray that was taken right away. And he went over the results with me and showed me this as well as the previous X-ray from 03/2024. Similarly we went over previous and current spirometry test results and Dr. Pappas showed me differences and similarities. . Very thorough approach. He Is going to explore a possible new ( for me) medication to deal with allergy Induced asthma. I am very grateful for the time he took with me and how well prepared he was, for my consult.
