I thought Dr. Monterroso was excellent. She listened to my concerns and answered each one, she came into my appointment prepared and already knowledgeable about my case. I feel as if I am in very good and capable hands with Dr. Monterroso.

The best doctor I’ve ever had! She genuinely advocates for her patients and listens to everything you have to say. My adult asthma journey hasn’t been easy but having someone who understands and cares about your well being is life changing.

Dr. Monterroso always listens to me and never cuts me off. She is very thorough and she is so so smart. She doesn't judge but just helps me where I am in my illness. Thank you so much Dr!!!

Dr.Monterroso definitely makes you feel like she genuinely concerned about your health. She explains everything in detail and makes you feel comfortable talking with her about any symptoms you’re experiencing. I definitely made the right choice having her as my pulmonary doctor

I went to Dr . Monterroso to determine if my lung’s scar issue was causing my prolonged cough I get every 2 years . She was very personable , focused and present with me . I felt right at ease; she is very thorough , experienced and analyzes data quickly . I would highly recommend her to others (I already have .)
