Best pulmonologists in California: find options near you

We were on time for the appointment and we didn’t have to wait long to see the doctor. The doctor was very informative and we had the opportunity to ask him questions. The medication was called into the pharmacy. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The whole experience was easy and very pleasant. Thank you!

Impeccable care from the entire team I needed to see a pulmonologist and I was really impressed by the care from all the professionals involved. From the front desk staff, who were incredibly kind and efficient with scheduling, to the nursing team that prepared me for the exams with so much care and attention. The doctor was extremely compassionate: listened to all my concerns patiently, explained every detail of the diagnosis without rushing, and answered all my questions clearly. I left the appointment feeling supported, informed, and confident about my treatment plan. You can tell this is a team that truly works together and cares about patients. The office is organized, punctual, and the care was outstanding from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality lung care!

Time attended for my entire appointments was brief, nothing exciting. The front and back office displayed professionalism and core competency. The waiting area is pleasant for an individual to wait for an appointment. The nose clamps used for lung and breathing test hurt me, which is something to reference as currently unrelated to medical office quality. The building the medical office is located within is beautiful. Curb space at the buildings front seemed to be crowded with cars during both my appointments.

The staff was wonderful and attentive. My appointment was scheduled on time I love the way the office is set up and clean. The doctor is awesome caring and understand her position I'll give her a 10 thank you California Long association for your care and support.

I thought Dr. Kim was very standoffish and not very helpful. She didn’t appear to be interested in assisting me after she found out that I was an extra drug addict is she seemed to be like almost a verbally attacking me with her line of questioning and her statement and her unwillingness to really do everything in the scope of her power medically to assist me in feeling better and getting to the surgery that I needed to lose weight I even asked her about steroids that helped open up the heart, and I mean the lung and she refused just very standoffish and it was very offputting however, Cindy the nurse was absolutely amazing. It’s a shame when you get a good nurse that stuck with a bad doctor cause what do you do?

Excellent staff and very friendly. Go out of their way to help you. My doctor caring and concerned about my issues. Had breath test today and young lady makes it actually enjoyable. Highly recommend them to you

The office staff are wonderful. Dr.Sandhu is a fantastic physician.She cares deeply about her patients and goes the distance to take care of them. She is very professional and has a terrific bedside manner. I would recommend her to anyone.

Great communication. I’ve had two appointments and both had very little to no wait time. I appreciate not having to be there for any longer than necessary. Staff is very personable and professional

From the moment I walked in I was greeted warmly by the office staff. I was able to consult with Nicole who is an amazing empathetic support NP who knows how to listen and support her patients wholeheartedly. I will gladly come back to this place where I felt seen and heard and their knowledge and expertise is evident.

Dr. Abidali is great and the staff there is friendly and knowledgeable. He has helped me control my asthma and is patient and caring. I highly recommend them.

Staff very personable and professional. Short wait time. Dr. Goyle is very receptive, informative, provided education, and I feel great about putting my confidence in his care as a medical provider. I definitely will recommend him.

What a professional DR ! Dr Goyal is gentle and ethical. He read my chart and referral And medical history made sure he got enough information about me as a patient. Dr made sure I understood what he had ordered for a better Diagnosis. I'm really thankful for him. And the staff greeted me with a smile where patient with my registering and make sure I had my referral paperwork before leaving the clinic What a comforting experience overall I recommend this pulmonologist as well as the staff and Clinic.

I arrived about 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment. Once I checked in, I had to wait an additional hour before getting to a room. Once in the room, I waited about 15 minutes to see the doctor. Also, one of my prescriptions wasn't covered by insurance, so I tried to call several times to get it changed. No one ever called me back. But, once you finally get to see Dr. Goyal, he is great!

The staff here were not friendly or welcoming. I felt as if they just were rushing and wanted to get you out as fast as they could. They didn't explain anything,or ask what day I wanted my follow up Appt. They just gave me some paperwork and 3 appointment cards and sent me away.Very unprofessional!!

Was there this morning, and as always, Dr Goyal and his staff gave me 5 star treatment!! They really know how to make their patients feel at home. I just love their friendly atmosphere, and the care I get each time I'm there. Thank you Dr. Goyal and staff!! I would recommend this office to all my friends and family.

Yesterday visit was an awesome one. I love the place as everyone is very professional and friendly. Eden is the technician son and seeing his school work keeping me calm doing the breathing test. Rosa doctor Rezvan assistant was very precise, patient and lo Ely character in the office, thank you all and I am much better and good breathing because of you.

I find my experience at Paloma Medical Group to be run very efficiently. From the staff to th the Drs. I've never had to wait long. I have been particularly impressed with Dr Chang and his PA that helped me in the beginning. Both very thorough and knowledgeable which gave me a whole new level of understanding my condition. Dr Chang has been consistently attentive to all my concerns and questions giving me peace of mind when I left. I highly recommend Dr Chang.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Chang. He is truly one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated physicians I have ever met. When Dr. Chang prescribed Yuperili, it completely changed the course of my life. I genuinely believe I would not be here today if it weren’t for his expertise and determination to find the right treatment for me. I will always be grateful for the care he has given me. What sets Dr. Chang apart is not only his medical knowledge but also the way he treats his patients. He always takes the time to listen, answer every question, and make me feel heard. I have never once felt rushed or dismissed. His kindness, patience, and genuine concern have given me hope during some of the most difficult times in my life. If you’re looking for a physician who truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chang. He has made an immeasurable difference in my life, and I will be forever thankful for everything he has done for me.

Dr Chang is a thoughtful, warm, caring pulmonologist who renders his expertise with knowledge of your whole body health and how one condition, lab result, test results et al affects your entire health. He really knows his profession, and how everything interacts. I am impressed with his office protocol. First testing by a very adept pulmonary tech, then the medical assistant really takes time to gather all of the pertinent information you may want to ask Dr Chang, and then various reports from your medical records are sought and printed. Then Dr Chang comes into the appointment prepared with impressive information in hand to answer every question and make his astute recommendations. I managed a large multi-office Internal Medicine and Nephrology practice in LA, so I can really appreciate high quality care. That's Dr Chang and his very nice Staff. And, it's very easy to communicate with his office. Experienced professional staff answers the phone! I am so grateful for the wonderful care I've received through the years from him. He's kept me very Healthy!

My experience with Dr. Yen-Hui Soong at Paloma Medical Group yesterday was truly excellent. The clinic was clean and well-kept. Although I don’t speak English, the front desk staff, the nurse who attended to me, and the technician who performed my pulmonary function test were all incredibly patient and kind. Dr. Soong listened carefully to my description of my condition and concerns, and explained everything clearly. He translated complex medical information into easy-to-understand terms, which made me feel very reassured. He is an outstanding physician—knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, and he provided a clear plan for my follow-up care. The process of having my prescription sent directly to the Costco Pharmacy near my home was seamless and efficient. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking high-quality pulmonary care. Thank you for the exceptional service!

Today I visited Dr Chang at Paloma Medical in beautiful San Juan Capistrano for the first time. He was pleasant, professional and very respectful and asked questions about my health history with undivided attention. Afterwards he explained my lung problem to me in detail and I did a 6 minute walk test. He then recommended a new medicine and a follow up visit. Looking forward to visiting him and his friendly staff in 2 weeks.

Dr. Chang been my doctor for several years, He is an expert in pulmonary care, and is extremely knowledgeable and caring and very thorough. I trust him explicitly and he is my favorite doctor. His staff is caring and compassionate and provide excellent support as well.

I was referred to this clinic by my primary doctor and I must say this was an amazing experience. I had my appointment on June 3rd. I got there and I was called within 10 minutes to filled out paperwork. Then, I was called to speak to a doctor. It was pretty quick. Dr. Sandu was great. She asked me questions related to my sleep. I was scheduled to go on July 12th. For my surprise I got a call from the clinic at 2:46pm and I was told that someone had cancelled so they told me I could go in to do my test I agree and when I got there with my husband check in was quick. I got to my room where Abby was kind, professional and very nice. She answered all my questions explained all the procedure. The room was clean, bed and pillows very comfortable with AC and TV. I really recommend this clinic. Everything was very easy to get checked in and Abby was great. This for me was an amazing experience. Even though I was nervous at the beginning. Abby made me feel comfortable I had a really nice sleep even though I had lots of cables on. Very happy to have done this test in this great clinic.

I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment and was checked into a room around 2:09 PM. After that, I waited over an hour without seeing a doctor or nurse. I eventually had to walk out and ask what was going on, and I was simply told they were busy and still had another patient ahead of me. The lack of communication, time management, and consideration for patients was extremely disappointing. Overall, a very frustrating experience.

Plan an extra hr around your appt. We have never been seen on time -common in Dr offices- but this office doesn't even check you in until +20mins after scheduled appt… this doesn't include the +30min wait times in the back. EVEN WORSE – I have NEVER received a callback. Not for questions, appt confirmations, referral f/ups, or anything else needed, despite them promising a 48hr time period. Unfortunately Bakersfield is limited in availability and we cannot successfully find a new place….currently writing this from the lobby @2:13p still waiting to be called( appt was for 1:30p!!!) Edited to add – @2:36 and STILL waiting to be seen.

Impossible to get Office Manager to do her job.She will NOT ever call back patients with resolutions or updates. Consequently, Dr has no idea of patients needs or issues. Thousands of $$ spent on Inspire apnea device for no positive results thus far. Very poor experience with device, Dr. and staff

Had an 8:15 am appointment and it is now approaching 9:30am and I still haven’t been seen yet! What is the purpose of scheduling an appointment a few months out and not being able to be seen in a timely matter.

Apparently there is only one person entrusted with making the kind of appointment I need to make. I have been waiting for three days for a call back to make this appointment. Spent more than a collective half hour on hold. I still don’t have the necessary appointment. How does this pass as patient care?

This is a good pulmonary office. The staff are friendly and I like Dr. Vaghasia. I have two downsides though, one the wait times are long, and two, they don’t have a treadmill for the 6 minute walk and makes me feel ridiculous having to walk up and down in a hall. Get a treadmill please!

Excellent reception at the front desk! I always appreciate when the staff acknowledges you and are friendly. I loved my consult with Dr. Sattar. She listened attentively, asked engaging questions, and developed a plan of action for me. Visit was everything I hoped it would be.

Dr.Taback is very kind with excellent bedside manner. He listens very carefully to his patients and does a very thorough investigation for the cause of the disease. People at the front office are very pleasant and efficient in getting the patient ready to see the Dr. Dr.’s assistants were also very efficient, effective, and personable. Overall this is a very good team. Thank you for your excellent service.

Dr. Taback always takes time with us, he answers our list of questions patiently, has a kind manner with my husband who has dementia. He is a pro at what he does! We drive in from Reseda to be seen by him. An excellent doctor.

The doctor was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and she came up with two remedies for my problem. She also set up a test for the future. Well recommended.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Anand as my doctor. He is exceptional—taking the time to listen and genuinely caring for his patients. His dedication shines through in every visit. The entire staff is wonderful, with special thanks to Cheri, who recently went above and beyond to ensure I was well taken care of. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor or a more supportive team.

The Dr was very thorough with his assessment, he was nice, kind and at times funny which takes the edge from the patients during a Drs visit. Would highly recommend.

I didn’t have to wait to long. Front office was helpful. Esther, his nurse is a delight. I love my doctor. Dr. Anand. He is very thorough and kind. He went above and beyond by calling me on a Saturday morning to let me know the results of a pet scan I had because he knew I was nervous about the results and he didn’t make me wait until the following Monday to hear the results. I absolutely recommend the office.

I had a wonderful experience with this office. I was placed on the cancellation list, and they called me promptly when an appointment became available. I was able to be seen within just five days, which I really appreciated. The office was warm and welcoming, and the medical assistants were friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. The waiting area was quiet and calm, making the entire visit comfortable from start to finish. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for compassionate, efficient care.

I saw Dr. Patel yesterday, June 30. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dr. Patel, he is friendly and caring. My husband and I talked about how he endures the demanding schedule he keeps and still be jovial and intensely interested in each patient’s wellbeing. However, it turned out to be a very long wait. Unfortunately Dr. Patel is indeed, "the only game in town," we were just lucky we got to see him. We were not offended by the wait, because it was worth seeing him.♥️ 💕♥️

Dr Patel was professional, caring and helpful. He made an effort to inderstsnd my situation and develop a way to deal with it. I would recommend him to anyone needing his soelislty.

First visit today. Wait time was as expected not to long. Staff was nice. Dr Patel seems to be a compassionate Dr, which you don’t find often. Glad I was referred to him.

I would not be here without Dr Patel’s knowledge. He cares about each patient and gives them individual care. I have complete confidence in what he says. As my Dr for 31 years I would be lost without him.

We recently had my dad’s first consultation with Dr. Weymer, and I felt compelled to share how wonderful the experience was. Medical appointments can be intimidating, especially when you’re unsure what to expect, but Dr. Weymer immediately put my dad at ease. He took the time to listen carefully, never rushed the appointment, and explained everything clearly and patiently. What really stood out was his compassion and genuine concern for my dad’s comfort and understanding. He made sure all of our questions were answered and treated my dad with dignity and kindness. It’s rare to find a physician who combines expertise with such a caring bedside manner. We are truly grateful for the time and attention he gave us and feel confident my dad is in excellent hands.

I have been seeing Dr. Weymer for 2 hrs now. Yesterday, June 23, 2026 was a good appointment. His staff and him are very accommodating. It was a quiet day in there than any other time. Dr. Weymer has always been very attentive to me. I will give him a 5.

Dr Laura Craver was a definite 5. She was thorough and engaging, committed to help. Trying to arrange an appointment was more challenging than it should be and I nearly selected another provider. Perhaps this is related to staffing issues at the Holidays? Once I was in the office everyone was super nice and helpful.

The nurses were very attentive and Dr. Weymer reviews all my records and lets me know what needs to be done and answers all questions. Thanks you guys are awesome 😎.

Laura Craver is the best. Staff is amazing and super helpful from the moment you walk in the door. Doc Craver answered all my questions with transparency. She very professional and had additional questions in regards to my health and overall well being to help with my sleep patterns. I will be referring all my friends to her.

Dr. Ruchi Bansal is an exceptional pulmonologist. She listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and genuinely cares about her patients. Her professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail make a real difference. I’m grateful for the quality of care she provides and highly recommend her.

From our first visit to the sleep study’s performed. All the staff was so courteous and professional in all departments. Thank you especially to Margarita for her diligence and courtesy to ensure we were taken care of! We love Dr Sandhu with her excellent bedside manner and direct approach!

Dr. Bansal was quite professional, kind, and very patient with me. She didn't rush through the visit. She made me feel I was important and she sincerely wanted to help me find good solutions to my difficulties. She gave me great advice, that I used at home…..and they worked !! As I left the appointment she said " I'm just a phone call away if there is anything you need help with " She's a shining example to her profession.

Dr. Bansal was knowledgeable and listened to all of our concerns. Her staff was amazing from the time we walked in, tell the time we left. Very professional establishment and treated us kindly.

Dr. Bansal is phenomenal, she listens & truly cares about each of us as patients. You will never feel like just another number at her office. My favorite part of being her patient is that she listens to all my concerns, patiently answers all my questions & works to find the strategy of care that works individually for you. It is much too difficult to find a great specialist in our county, I am so thankful she serves the patients in our community. There is a bit of a wait time, but this only speaks as a testament of her being the specialist people trust, trust me the wait will be worth it. The office wait area is somewhat small, but it is clean & I appreciate that they require masks. You can also request phone consultations, which will sometimes require your patience, call & remind the office if you don’t receive the call on time. Then be patient because she will call, because she actually cares.

Either the office overbook appointments, or the doctor is very slow. Both appointments took over two hours, most of the time spent on waiting in the waiting room and exam room. Dr Vaghsia is very brief and not personal at all. I do not recommend this doctor or this office. I was seen two days ago and my RX hasn’t been sent to the pharmacy yet.

Dr. Vaghasia is a great doctor. He is attentive to his patients and I feel welcome whenever I go for an appointment. The staff are friendly and helpful. Also, the new office is clean and has enough space to be comfortable and patiently wait to be seen for an appointment.

Dr. Vaghasia, is a really good doctor and very thorough. Beware at the time I am writing this review I can’t get anyone to answer the phone or call me back after leaving a message. Also, if you email any test results, they don’t end up in your chart. If the staff and nurses did better, I would give it a five star.

The office is clean, the staff has always been friendly and helpful. Dr.Vaghasia is a wonderful doctor! He has never been in a hurry and carefully listens to you. He addresses all of your issues and is great at checking back with you for your previous issues. I would recommend him without question. Thank you, Kathleen Linnenbrink Lencioni

Doctor Vaghasia is a wonderful doctor. He is really thorough and on top of things, very professional. He is kind and a pleasure to be around. He made me feel comfortable right off the bat. His staff is great, and helpful.
