Often when seeing a healthcare provider, one feels they have lost a bit of their humanity. Dr. Ladesich doesn't treat you like a patient; he treats you like a person and answers questions in plain English making sure that you understand what is going on and what he is doing.  I would recommend him to ANYONE that is need of a pulmonologist. I have never experienced the level of care that he provides. HE IS A ROCKSTAR! He has provided me the best care; both inpatient and outpatient, and given me real options for the treatment of my embolism.
