Testimonials

My experience with Dr McDonough yesterday was great, as usual. He truly cares about my health and is always giving the attention his patients deserve. Trust him completely to handle my health issues.

Dr Mcdonough is a all around great Dr. He has decades of knowledge, which is priceless. He explains everything in depth. His bedside manner is the best I have ever encountered. He is honest and open with hard questions and you can feel his sincerity in the care for his patient. He made me feel relaxed, I left there knowing so much more information and have a action plan for my future lung care. He was happy to give a second opinion on various diagnosing. If you need a pulminologist Dr Mcdonough is you man. He is genuine and very handsome,( two more perks) It was worth the wait for the appointment. I also like the fact that once your a patient you can get ahold of his office and get in quickly if need be to avoid hospitalization.

Been my doctor for many years

Excellent doctor with good customer service and good attention.

I have been a a patient for several years now and have had any issues contacting the doctor or getting meds ok d

Very well taken care of

Thorough and comprehensive.

Prescribed meds but no explanation One inhaler would not be covered by insurance and needed a different one and I never heard that it was changed and again no follow up. Was to have a breathing test and I cancelled a week before yet I got a text to remind me of my appointment. So I called again and cancelled for the second time. Like so many medical places they are just too corporate owned that patients are a priority anymore. Very sad and disappointing .

Very nice doctor and staff! Keep up the great work!

Very polite courteous and prompt I would recommend their practice to anyone that asks very knowledgeable and very professional thank you

Everyone was nice and very good at their job doctor is very good at his job.

His knowledge, expertise and his willingness to always make sure his patients are taken care of and understand issues going on and how we are moving forward is exceptional! We NEED MORE DR'S LIKE HIM. He is never in a rush... I know it's his time to retire... but this is a huge loss to our community. Happy Retirement Dr. Walsh. Enjoy it! You so deserve it! Can we clone you? Lol Thank you for all you do and have done! Christine Brown-White

I believe Dr. Walsh walks on water. He is the most remarkable doctor I have ever had. He spends an inordinate amount of time with his patients Announcing not taking any media without giving anyone and really cares deeply for each and everyone.

Doctor was efficient, patient with me and my questions, knowledgeable, and pretty.

The nurses and Dr Garapati are very attentive and informative but the desk clerks could be more patient and kinder to the patients as the patients check in and out.

Kind, compassionate and extremely caring DR.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Amar Garapati, for a consultation recently, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of expertise and care. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and the office was comfortable and organized. Dr. Garapati took the time to thoroughly review my medical history, listen to my concerns, and explain my condition in a way that was easy to understand. I appreciated how he discussed all available treatment options and made me feel confident in my care plan moving forward. Dr. Garapati is both professional and compassionate, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of pulmonary care!

Dr Sosenko called me right on time for our teleconference. He reviewed the results from a recent CAT scan & recommended I get an RSV vaccination due to having a chronic cough & diabetes.

I was quite impressed that I was scheduled that promptly!

The doctor is caring and makes sure that I get everything I need and always says don’t hesitate to call if I need something.

Dr Lababidy and his stuff are world class medical provider

The Dr and the Inspire care representative and staff went above and beyond as well as took there time explaining how to use the device and the next steps in the process. I did not even notice it t was on my first night with inspire activated and I did sleep through the not as well as not tossing and turning. I feel like I did get a better night sleep and not as foggy as usual when I wake up. So far night one was good.

It's so important to get enough sleep cause the next day you feel so much better and full of energy which you didn't have before this the sleep machine because you were kind of druggie and tired the next day you didn't feel like doing nothing now I have so much energy I feel like doing different things and getting worked done cuz I have lots of energy not feeling tired anymore

Dr Sosenko listens and tries to involve patient in finding the root cause of illness .

office staff was very rude when I called with a concern and the lady I spoke to refused to give me her name and hung up on me. Very unprofessional and uncaring way to treat your fellow human being.

Excellent doctor takes time to discuss your concerns.

Doctor was aware of my medical history and addressed my concerns of the use and side effects of prescribed medication. I was also concerned with the cost of meds and was offered some samples.

Love Dr.Walsh and staff.professional,kind and helpful

Dr. Hadi is very personable and goes over my CPAP data on each visit. This visit was exceptional as I had to wait about 20 minutes past my appointment time. Also the co-pay is cash unless you want to pay an additional fee.

She is easy going and easy to speak to. She is a good listener and explains things in a way you can understand as long as you don’t rush her. Great bedside manner.

No wait time, and courteous

Excellent experience. A mixup in actual appointment time, led me to showing up an hour late. They still took me in, and I was out in 40 minutes. Dr. Hadi was thorough, looking forward to my next visit, for test results.

Caring with compassion

Very knowledgeable efficient compassionate and thorough and speaks at patients level EXCELLENT DOCTOR. Highly recommend

Great Doctor who is very caring on your health and the staff is very caring and kind

Dr Walsh is very competent and open to discussion. I am in fact recommending a close relative to his care.

Dr. K is a very special doctor in the way he interacts with patients. To do this I believe in his life away from the practice he is just the same. I wish any doctor I see was as caring and easy to talk with. Doctor McDonough is a very valuable Doctor.

Very knowledgeable and take time with patients.Excellent care. I would recommend him to everyone,especially my family.

Dr. Leung greets you as he comes in asks some questions as he goes over your chart, makes some decisions about your health talks over everything as he sees it, adjustments to medications, Dr. Leung is very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Highly recommend him if you are having any respiratory concerns!

Very personable and very well versed in his field. As well as being interested in his patients.

I would and already have recommended Dr McDonough to others. He is very easy to speak to. He is a good listener. Very funny. Great bedside manner. Gives excellent advice and explains why he treats you how you need things to be done.

Dr. was good. Billing practices are poor and I will not be going back for the simple reason that I refuse to pay a service charge for using a credit card to pay for medical visits/services at this Establishment. That is ridiculous!

Great personable medical professional

Very professional

He is the best

Caring and professional very good doctors

Dr. Walsh is wonderful. He listens and makes decisions based on the science. The office is terrible. Took me 2 phone calls and appearing in person to get my meds. I was down to a dose or two, even though I called it in real early. They dropped the ball telling me they ordered it when they did not. They also call me "his" when I confirm MY appointment. Or "HE". I am sure the paperwork states I am female, but could care less to check. Names these days go both ways: Morgan Freeman, Morgan Fairchild; Michael Landon, Michael Lerned. Get with it! I am always offended here.

He is very nice and answered all my questions.

Dr Walsh and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Always a very pleasant experience. The Staff are all so friendly and respectful. I look forward to having my appointment with him because I know I will be treated kindly. Dr McDonough is very down to earth and makes you feel very comfortable while under his care and I appreciate that. He is very knowledgeable and can answer any questions that are thrown at him and he does it with a smile

Perfect appointment

Very knowledgeable and extremely passionate and patiencent. The staff I dealt with were friendly and laid-back! I whish all my other doctor's visits could be like this!

I really like my pulmonaologist Dr. Leung. I have been in his prace for over 10 years. His practice is very clean. The office staff is very helpful. I would invite others to seek him out a a doctor.

Dr. Leung is very knowledgeable and is a very nice person to boot!

He has a great bed side manner and is a very caring and compassionate person. He answers all your questions and concerns and does not rush through the appointment.

Reviewed my scan with me. Spoke in layman’s terms and gave me options for care. Was very pleased with the consultation and would highly recommend.

Dr very nice/ knowledgeable. Staff friendly.

Very pleasant and made me feel at ease , I was nervous with my situation but Dr.Raya made it easier . Answered all my questions and the front desk was a tremendous help with setting up appointments .

The doctor takes his time to explain every aspect of your ailments and how they relate to your test results. Very confident.

Great

Very caring Dr takes time and listens I really liked him

Professional, cordial and enlightening

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Lababidy. He addressed my concerns and did not berate me when I told him I had a machine years ago but stopped using it. He was very professional and kind. I feel lucky that I was able to get into an appointment as soon as I did.

Great Doctor

Very nice, very professional and easy to understand by simplifying description of treatments, etc

Everyone was very caring and professional.

The Dr and his team are very helpful!

Very professional

Great

Fantastic Doctor. He is very thorough.

Dr. Sosenko is an amazing physician. I would highly recommend him!

I came for my appointment today and was told I didn’t have one. I checked my calendar and repeated I had a 9:30 appointment. A very rude women commented, “we called you four times to try and tell you the doctor would not be in. I commented back “and you didn’t try calling my other phone?” All I heard was, “oh wow” and “you didn’t say you had a preference.” You would think that after trying someone twice you would try the alternate phone number but instead you try the one you called already twice with no response 2 more times. Seriously!!! I did go over my phone numbers with this rude lady so they had both numbers to try. I also mentioned why I was turned into collections for $194.00 what was it for and of course they had no idea. The rude lady told me to call a number which I did call with no answer I left a message. I suppose they didn’t call my other number either. I made 2 payments which were returned to me with a note the account had been paid. Nothing was done there for me so it’d be nice to know why I owe money as I made my copay every time I went. Clients should never be treated as I was. I’ll never be back there nor recommend that office to anyone.

Very friendly and helpful

He was extremely informative and took the time to explain all my options. I highly recommend him.

Dr Walsh is the very best. He has help me when no other Dr could

Dr keeps good overall track and keeps me informed

On time very personable. I really believe she knows my needs and addresses them completely. Also put me at ease. I feel very confident in having her care for me!

This was a very positive experience. The staff was great as was Dr. Doeing. I had a very comprehensive visit and a treatment plan was given to me. I had a breathing test this morning and a have a new inhaler which seems to be helping. I highly recommend Dr. Doeing and Midwest Respiratory Ltd.

Dr. Doeing explained my test results and answered all my questions. She was very personable and easy to talk to.

Dr. Al-Massalkhi was absolutely amazing. He definitely addressed all my concerns, and I felt very relieved, very confident and very much informed after my visit with him.

Great

Dr leung is great. He listened to me and took time with me. I did not feel rushed at all. His assistant was also great.

Addressed all concerns, listened to what I said, made suggestions to be considered.

I appreciate Dr. Garapati as well as his office staff. It’s very reassuring to be in his care.

Just love these people

Nice Dr, who looked in the other things for me besides my CPAP issues

Dr McDonough was very kind and patient in introducing himself and listening to my health history. He put me at ease in preparing me for my procedure. I look forward to meeting him in person.

Everyone at the office smiles and are friendly and professional. Dr. P. Leung is very nice, smiles and explains everything. He takes his time and answers all questions so you can understand. Doesn’t rush out of room. Would recommend.

Dr. Walsh and the people at Midwest are excellent. I’m lucky to have caregivers like them. I’d highly recommend them. They’re knowledgeable and friendly and take the time to know you and explain things and give direction. You might be able to tie them but you can’t beat em.

I have been seeing Dr. Walsh for several years and couldn’t be more pleased. He has an excellent bedside manner and takes time to explain and listen. Highly recommend Dr. Walsh.

Dr Leung is very thorough. He asks questions and explains how the different meds work for and against you. I like him a lot.

Very helpful in helping me diagnose my sleep apnea

He makes you feel very comfortable and speaks to you, not over you. He takes the time to explain things without rushing you thru. Truly a concerned doctor who really cares for his patients.

In my previous review, I didn’t include the name of my doctor. Dr Al-Massalkhi is my doctor. Excellent, caring, knowledgeable.

I’ve always felt that Doc’s have always tried to get to the bottom of the problem. They try and get there and if they aren’t satisfied they will call you on your way home ?!!! If you don’t get your questions answered, either your wife talks to much and you can’t get a word in edgewise or you just need to walk alone ……… Love you guys, all of you!!

He was very helpful

My tele-visit w/Dr Leung was excellent. The lady who called just before appointment was very nice. However, the ignorant lady who I dealt with last month who changed my appt has zero customer service skills. She had a crap attitude towards her job. She needs to be retrained or let go.

Visit was just fine !

Very happy!!

Very thorough and very easy to talk to.

I would recommend dr walks. He takes his time with patients and helps them in any way possible.

Very good

My appointment was cancelled with a voicemail left at a wrong number. I was looking forward to this appointment because of SOB. Now I will see him 3 days before Cardiologist appointment. Very disappointed with staff!

Dr. Senko is very kind and listens to his patients!! Great, Dr!

Very good.

Betty thorough and helpful.

This is the second time I am answering this visit. I said that the staff are great and my doctor Al- Massalkhi is great answers all my questions and not in a hurry to leave. Great visit

Dr and I did a phone consultation! He was so kind and helpful and awesome. He spent about 15 minutes with me and explained everything so thoroughly ! He put my mind at ease! He is a rare find in the medical profession.

Great staff and Great Doctor in capital letters

Awesome!

Dr Walsh and RN Jolee, excellent care and concern for my respiratory issues.

His office and staff got things rolling fast . Dr Walsh was informative knowledgeable and compassionate. He helped ease my anxiety about my cat scan results. I cannot thank him or his staff enough for their care. Thanks to all that calmed me down

Thought he very good in explaining my health issues. Feel very comfortable with him.

Good doctor

Knowledgeable Friendly Cares for patients

Dr. Leung is very concerned about his parents. He asks a lot of questions, too find a best path for you.

I had never seen Dr. Giri before admission to the hospital. He is the sweetest, kindest,most knowledgeable Dr. I have ever known. He spent more than an hr. on my f/u visit, went through the pictures of my CT explaining it to me. My primary doctor has never been as thorough as Dr. Giri. His office staff is very helpful and pleasant

Great positive attitude!

Very concerned and he took his time with mr

Very good. The dr was really good and didn’t mind joking with me. He took the time to explain my health issues to me and you don’t always have a dr that takes the time to talk to you.

So respectfully! Explained everything so you could understand it.

Dr Walsh was very friendly and informative about what was going on and what I needed to do and what test was being ordered and where.

Excellent!

Front desk staff super friendly. Even with being short staffed. Dr put my mind at ease. Explained everything to me. Very kind. Nurse not very friendly. Just “there”

Dr Doeing is very personal and has been extremely informative. We appreciate her caring approach to our needs and situation. Many thanks, Carole Dunne and family

He’s very personable and never makes me feel like he’s in a rush!! He listens to me and I feel valued.

What to say about Dr. Walsh.... I wish every other doctor I see was like him. Dr Walsh takes the time to listen and to explain conditions, procedures and treatments. You never feel rushed. Everyone at Midwest Respiratory is friendly, courteous and helpful, other offices could take lessons. Special thanks to Amy, friendly, helpful and always available for help and assistance. Thanks to everyone that works at Midwest!

I am so thankful for Dr. Raya's knowledge of my coughing/breathing problem, and the prescriptions to restore me to good health. I especially am thankful for his clear conversation to me so that I understand what's going on.

Dr Doeing was very thorough and understanding of what the procedure was going to be like. She also made sure that I understood and if I had any questions.

Doctor is wonderful and is never in a rush during my visits.

De Garapati and staff were fantastic.

Felt comfortable talking with the staff and the doctor

Very nice

The doctor answered all of my questions and made a new recommendation for a mask to make me more comfortable.

I felt Dr. Doeing was thorough in her assessment of me, it’s exactly what a new patient wants. She explained her assessment and was very kind. I think she was one of the most authentic doctors I have ever dealt with. Anne Vickery

I had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everyone was professional, helpful and patient.

Very good was taken care and Dr.Sosenko took care of all my concerns

Very direct and clear about all possible outcomes and treatment routes. I appreciated this a lot.

The Dr seems to be good although all that has taken place is a consultation. She was friendly and she listened.

Dr Doeing took her time with me and explained what I was doing next. I felt comfortable with her.

For a first time visit, we felt like we knew her forever. She was knowledgeable, thorough, easy-to-talk-to, and explained everything. Great doctor!!
