“I have had asthma for 40+years. Not being able to breathe is very debilitating. I have been to many doctors regarding my respiratory issues. I have most often found myself disappointed with the care I have received, and I have felt like the treatment I was receiving wasn't helping. I can honestly say that Dr. Charles Fishman is the best pulmonologist that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and treated by. Dr. Fishman is a good listener, explains things in a way that you can clearly understand and really cares about finding the right treatment. His staff is very friendly and welcoming. The office is very neat and clean. I would highly recommend Dr. Fishman.”
