I am in a bit of a perilous situation with my lungs and Dr. Omar spent a great deal of time with me, ex[plained everything based on tests, and then--together--we developed a plan going forward. I can't think of a better specialist. He is knowledgeable, organized, perceptive, and immensely helpful--at a time when I really needed it.
