What our patients are saying

Dr Valashinas to me is the best Dr. I was a patient of hers for years while she was in Texas. She was always very helpful, caring, and did whatever was needed and possible. To me, there’s no replacement! I’d recommend her to everyone.

5 Star - Google Review

The doctor took his time to review my medical history. After explaining what he thought it may be he went over what we had to do next. Never felt rushed and always had the answers to my questions.

The staff is professional, caring and well trained. Dr. Puchalski is an excellent physician who is a strong diagnostician and looks at the totality of his patient’s medical issues, not just the pulmonary aspect of their condition. I am beyond pleased by the care and treatment I received.

Was a pleasure meeting the Doctors! Explained everything in an excellent way and answered all my questions!

My pulmonologist was excellent; he took his time to review all my records; explained my condition and possible future solution(s) to my issues in the future. Dr. Puchalski is a wonderful doctor – knowledgeable, experienced, kind and very meticulous and dedicated.

Dr. Puchalski was very helpful and was open to my helping me with my health. He did the tests and we talked about that. My lungs were clear.
