I have been a post transplant patient of Dr. Erica Lease for [...] years. She and her staff have provided me with the best care and concern for my health as could ever be matched.
Dr. Lease is always informative and very caring. In addition to being a lung transplant patient, I had the misfortune of losing my daughter-in-law this past summer. She was an organ donor, and Dr. Lease took the time to talk with my wife and I about coping with the loss. She also took the time to explain why I am taking a second antibiotic, which I did not previously understand.
