Patient Reviews
Jan 24, 2018
Dr Walek is a good pulmologist but the communication from his office is horrible. They never follow up or call you back with your results even very important ones that affect your health. Also are not good about returning phone calls. I’ve waited over a week for a call back and finally called them again!
