Dr. Lechtzin was truly very invested in his prep to meet with me - he was well versed in all prior tests/results I have form other medical centers. He asked questions that were clearly investigative and worked to piece a very confusing puzzle together. He is so friendly and I felt very cared for! So patient with me and all the details of my health journey.

I am extremely grateful to be a patient of Dr. Lechtzin. I hold him in the highest regard. It's simply about choosing a physician that demonstrates excellence In his skill, has excellent bedside manner and follows through with remediation of problems that occur. I'm not sure there are many pulmonologists that show a deep concern for their passion's mental and physical health when facing complex maladies. What brings a sense of stability and peace during a very difficult and uncertain time.
