I was 15 minutes late to my appointment and was so very glad that Dr. Chuidian made time for my visit. In spite of my lateness to the appointment, I didn't feel the least bit rushed and I believe that the good doctor spent as much time as he would have, had I been on time.

Dr. Chuidian is the best physician on my care team, and I have many. He takes time to discuss concerns, not just about my pulmonary health, but how other health issues affect my overall health. Because he spends time with his patients to meet their needs, I do not mind appointments not starting exactly on time.

Fine man! Excellent doctor! Very positive visit with a followup scheduled! Thank you!
