Dr Snapper is a very caring doctor. He doesn't give you the standard 5-minute rush/here's a script/see ya next time treatment.He treats as well as cares. Out of the eight Pulmonologists that I've had during my three-year pulmonary issue, he's one of my top three favorites.

Dr. Snapper has been our 97 year old grandmother's pulmonologist for about a year now. Never have we experienced a medical professional that shows such compassion for a patient. His communication skills and accessibility amazes our family. We are grateful and blessed to have him as part of her medical team.

Dr. Snapper is absolutely the BEST dr i have ever encountered! I have a been a nurse for 12 years and he is definiatly a true class act. I have never felt so comfortable and confident in what a dr has said. Not one time did my husband or myself feel rushed or as if we were wasting his time. He was so personable and knowledgeable. I have nothing but the best to say about him.
