Dr. Saft was extremely caring and thorough. He recommended a plan that immediately helped me reduce a painful stress related cough that I had been dealing with more months. I am very grateful he took my concerns seriously and came up with a plan that helped me so much. The cough was really impacting my quality of life and I feel so much better now.
