“She took the time to sit down with me, uncrushed, explained all my options. She listened and she understood what I was asking. A true art to caring!”
Maureen C.April 1, 2025
“Dr. Shivaram was thorough in explaining her concern issues and was very patient listening to mine, including not just breathing issues, but but my other extensive health issues. I will keep her as my pulmonologist as she is the kind of Dr who shows she is genuinely concerned for her patients.”

The doctor was very patient and a great listener, she addressed all my questions and I did not feel rushed at all. In most office visits the doctors are rushing to get to their next patient, but she took her time until she had a full assessment.
Excellent experience overall.
