My only issue is that I can not schedule the 6 month follow up appt requested by my provider 6 months out. Apparently his calendar does not go out beyond June and my next appt should be made for August. It is best for me, and others I would guess, to schedule future appts as soon as requested so I don't forget. Otherwise everything is perfect and I am so very grateful to have excellent pulmonary care from Dr Pappas. Thank you.

Dr. Pappus is in a league of his own! I so appreciate him; a wonderful person and extremely fine physician. One example: One day I received a phone call from Dr. Pappus, who asked if I would participate in genetic testing. He thought he knew the cause of the growths in the bottom of my lungs. Genetic testing occurred and the lab reports confirmed a very rare lung syndrome "He's a true winner!
