Renuka Umashanker, M.D.

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.

“Dr. Puchalski was my doctor at Yale after I was diagnosed with cancer on the lining of my lung. I had a buildup of fluid, called a pleural effusion, that had to be extracted. Dr. Puchalski did a great job extracting the fluid from my lung and also performed a tube thoracostomy that I needed. He inserted a catheter into my pleural space to continue to drain the fluid. Dr. Puchalski was always informative, treated me in a professional way, and, a year later, made me laugh as he pulled out the tubing I was so petrified of having him do. I highly recommend him.”
