We were told that the zephyr valve procedure was not as successful as anticipated. Some options were discussed. We decided after some time to think about options.

I felt Dr. Imad was very knowledgeable and professional. He explained things in layman's terms and made sure you understood the process. He was very direct with his answers and I was very comfortable with him.

He released me unless I have additional problems. He knows I have several doctors checking on me and he will stay in the loop. Dr Imad is the best pulmonologist ever. As long as he's around I will never see anyone else.

I think Dr. Imad and his group do an excellent job. He is always familiar with my latest test results before he comes in the exam room and is ready to explain those results to me clearly. He is always ready to listen to any concerns I have and does an excellent job in answering any of my questions. His assistant also did a great job.
