Swedish Patient
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.
