Dr. Gondi has helped me so much. He has been able to control my asthma. I used to use my Proventil inhaler several times a day and now it is very rare for me to use it at all. He has me on 2 medicines which control my asthma. I am able to play sports, get near my pets and get a cold and not have to be bothered with my asthma. He is also very nice.
I have been seeing Dr. Gondi for 1 year and I find him excellent. He was able to diagnose and treat my problems with ease and I never felt better. My allergies are very much improved. I have been so impressed with his expertise and bedside manner that I have sent friends and family members to see him. Their impressions were the same as mine as they are also very happy with their care. In addition, his staff is great and very helpful.
