Yeah, my visit with Dr. Christiani was awesome. He's a cracker jack. He's on the ball. He knows everything. He put me on an inhaler. I really like him. And he deserves a 10 all the way around. Bye.

Dr Christiani was very thoughtful and helpful and knowledgable. Many MGH doctors are very busy and sometimes the appointment seems rushed. But Dr. Christiani took time to listen and provide helpful advice and suggestions. Since I had exposure to mold, he even offered to let me have a lab test to check for mold antibodies. I feel more reassured and at peace with my condition.

I travel a distance to come to Mass Gen to have my pulmonary condition carefully evaluated and monitored . It is a comfort to know that my doctor is a top notch professional in his field and that I could not find better care anywhere in this country. I am grateful to be a patient here. Mass Gen is the best of the best and so are their medical professionals.
