Apr 09, 2021
After 5 years and 4 different pulmonologist my nurse practitioner suggested I see Dr Balakrishnan. Within a few weeks he had the correct diagnosis and my breathing was restored. I suffered for all that time unnecessary just because other doctors weren't informed. Thank you Dr Balakrishnan. I believe you saved my life.
