Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2022
I went into the hospital with a collapsed lung. I also had a heart attack in the process. A lung surgeon came in and told my wife to gather family members together. He didn't think I would survive. A nurse at the hospital told my wife about Dr. Tishko. She contacted him and when he arrived at the hospital he assured her that I would be fine. Dr. Tishko did lung reduction surgery and the follow up treatment. I was back to work 3 months later and back on the street as a police officer in Columbus, Ohio. It has now been 25 years and I feel great. There is no doubt that Dr. Tishko is the greatest lung surgeon in the country and maybe the world. God Bless Dr. Tishko. I can't praise him enough. Before I met Dr. Tishko I had severe COPD and had difficulty breathing. Life has been great for me thanks to Dr. Tishko. I am now 73.
