Dr. McConnell and his staff provided an exceptional experience during my first visit. Since my previous pulmonary hypertension pulmonologist left the practice, I was unsure what to expect, but Dr. McConnell immediately put me at ease. He was kind, extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the answers to all of my concerns. I left feeling completely confident in his new treatment plan and truly thankful to be under his care for my continued pulmonary health. Additionally, the entire staff was amazing, providing wonderful care from the moment I walked through the door until the time I left.

The physician provided most of my care. He llistened to my concerns, performed an appropriate exam, recommended addition of a recently released medication, and discussed the potential benefits as well as the possibility side-effects and drug interactions.
