Dr Kocerk is the best Pulmonologist I have ever had and I have had a few. I feel she actually may have saved my life because she discovered a cancerous spot on my lung at the very early stage when all other doctors I've seen would not even do CT scans. She is such a Blessing.

I'm very impressed with Dr. Emily. She takes time with you and sits down and explains things to your level and I think I answered my first question as no when it should have been yes. So, correct me on my very first question, but I would recommend Dr. Emily to anybody. I have a lot of faith in her, trust her. She really acts like a true hearted person that cares for her patients. Thank you very much.

I waited over an hour past my appointment to see the doctor. I am very disappointed that after my next visit I will have to switch doctors.

Dr. Kocurek is exemplary in every regard (e.g., listening, consulting, instruction, caring, knowledge, communication). Others could learn a lot observing her.
