Patient Comments
This one was very good.
Dr. Krachman is wonderful. I have been his patient for approximately 15 years. I see him for Sarcoidosis, Sleep Apnea and Asthma. This past [...], I was hospitalized at [...] I was admitted on an emergency basis. I was very sick. My sisters called him and he spoke to them several times. He also spoke to my neurologist. The doctors at [...] appreciated his input. I appreciated that he spoke to those doctors. Thus visit was the first time I had seen Dr. Krachman since last [...]. He got the whole story about what had taken place since then. It took a while to tell it, but he asked a lot of questions and I felt that he cared. I always have felt like he cares.
I usually ge nervous with Doctor but this Doctor is special..very kind.
Dr Krachman was very concerned about my coughing problem.
Outstanding doctor
