I had a very positive experience with Dr. Maldonado. He took the time to truly listen to all of my questions and concerns, showing care and patience throughout our conversation. He explained my medical condition clearly and thoroughly, helping me understand both the risks and benefits of my treatment options; I felt Informed and confident in the decisions we discussed. He clearly has a deep understanding of all aspects of pulmonary medicine. What stood out most was his kindness and sensitivity -- especially when he personally called me as soon as he received the results of a test I was very concerned about. That thoughtful gesture showed just how attentive and compassionate he Is toward his patients. I truly felt seen, heard and cared for. I am extremely grateful for his professionalism and compassionate care.

Clearly one of the visits I have had in my medical /healthcare journey. The physician was AMAZING! He took time to listen, respond and was professional with excellent people skills. Even walked me out to the reception area. What ????? I thought this type of excellent medical care died years ago. He is deserving of recognition and appreciation. Thank you
