Some Kind Words From Our Patients
I came to this place because my lungs collapsed during a surgery. I was on oxygen 15 liters and was not being taken down so i wouldn't become dependent on it. I knew my Aunt was being treated here and highly recommended it. I couldn't agree more. With Dr. Michael. I was off Oxygen in a year...
Donna. Posted On July 15, 2021GoogleI was referred to Dr Michael Zlupko by my PCP after a C.A.T scan showed a lung nodule. I was very happy with his explanation of what this may or may not be, the follow up treatment and the referral to a Surgeon who I was very happy with.I would recommend this Physician without reservation.
