My appointment went very well and fast.

I was very pleased with the appointment. All my questions were answered. She was such a nice person and very professional.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/3/2026
I came in with a lot of questions because I didn't understand how to use some appliances and I got very good education. They took the time to go over it more than one time and I really appreciate all the people that helped me that day. There were several technicians and I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Bye.

Makenzie is doing a great job in helping me with all my agent Orange related diseases. I would recommend her to anyone with lung related problems.

Makenzie was very nice and explained alot of things for us.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/12/2026
Everybody was very kind and what I really enjoyed was the fact that I didn't have to sit and wait a long time for the doctor or for the lab tests. When I went down there, they were excellent also. So my overall experience was very good and I must say Dr. Makenzie is fantastic. She's just so kind and considerate and makes you feel like you're the only patient she has. That if you have questions, it's no problem. And so I just wanted to give that to you. And I can't think of a thing negative to say about the whole experience. And the guy doing the lab test, he was wonderful. He was a lot of fun and he made it easy. So thank you very much.

Your underground parking is pretty scary! Way too dark. You need more lights.

MY APPOINTMENT WENT VERY WELL .
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/16/2026
I don't know if it's early in the morning or because registration deals with so many people, but the registration people can be short , a little snippy with patients. I've been coming for several years to providers, but there are some elderly, especially, that I've seen disrespectfully treated. This should not happen as patients have a lot on their mind besides finding the right elevator.

I was 20 minutes late to this appointment. I was assured that it was no problem. Everyone was reassuring and told that my lung nodules were back to their original size and stable. I was told to call if I had a productive cough or coughed up blood.
