Great local experience at Heidelberg. Dr O'Donoghue took the time to explain my asthma management clearly and booked a pulmonary function test on the same day. I felt listened to and confident with the plan. Highly recommend.
I finally got some answers about my chronic bronchitis after years of coughing. Dr O'Donoghue's approach was practical, and the smoking cessation advice he gave was really helpful. Excellent care in Heidelberg.
The sleep apnea evaluation was thorough and reassuring. The staff were friendly, and Dr O'Donoghue spoke clearly and in plain English. Left with a solid plan and feel much better already.
