From my last visit my breathing changed drastically, for the better I Dr. Bando listened to Everything I had to say then asked me questions, about the change. We laid out a plan for the near future if there were any changes to my breathing.

She cares. She spent 50 min with me and explained what could be causes to my symptoms and what each medication will do. My previous pulmonologist spent 15 min with me for the same problem. I left the office with much confidence that I could deal with my illness that can be treated.
