Patient Reviews
May 19, 2020
I came under Dr. Sebastian Lighvani’s care soon after I ended up in the emergency room after a training run with what turned out to be adult onset asthma. Dr. Lighvani did a battery of tests and developed a medication and immunotherapy program overseen by Patti that quickly got my condition under control and had me running and ready for the NYC Marathon in no time. The pleasant and highly-efficient office managed by Karen makes the allergy shots fast and easy. When I developed pneumonia after traveling overseas, the entire team immediately made time available in a fully-booked day to get me the tests and treatment I needed. I could not feel more cared for and I highly recommend Dr. L and his entire team.
