Very understandable and respectful.
Doctor Gaza is a remarkable very down to earth doctor I can't tell you how I feel besides fortunate I feel in finding him.
Lo unico que no me gusto fue la espera 15 minutos tarde . El tiempo de la cita estuvo bien 30 minutos de atencion
Dr Gazda is an excellent pulmonolgist and is willing to explore options and think outside of the box while other doctors do not take the time to think about.or consider other options and causes. He came back a second time after my appointment to look at a rash I forgot to tell him about during the appointment.
I consider him by far the best doctor at the University!!
He did a great job
