There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Dr Ricardo Jose. He was so kind and patient while listening to everything I had to say about my lung condition that I’ve been struggling with for over a year. He asked me the right questions and after a couple of tests that were done on the same day, I finally got an answer and a diagnostic for my condition. The medications he prescribed made me feel so much better almost instantly and right away I could notice an incredible improvement in my lung capacity and the quality of my breathing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
