    Dr. Pillai is, hands down, the most knowledgeable and personable doctor that I have ever been referred to. Her attention to detail is amazing and she is really interested in what you have to say. Dominque, who conducts the pulmonary testing, is terrific. She is upbeat and makes the directions clear from beginning to end. Together they make an amazing team.
