Patient Reviews
Apr 19, 2024
I have seen Dr. Southard since 2022 after recovering from COVID. During that visit, he spent forty-five minutes with me discussing things after a breathing function test. I visited him April 18, 2024 for shortness of breath and loss of voice from it. He diagnosed the problem in five minutes and gave me a steroid injection. It began to work within two hours and I was speaking better and with no shortness of breath. The best doctor I have ever seen.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
