How likely are you to recommend Dr. Southard?
I have seen Dr. Southard since 2022 after recovering from COVID. During that visit, he spent forty-five minutes with me discussing things after a breathing function test. I visited him April 18, 2024 for shortness of breath and loss of voice from it. He diagnosed the problem in five minutes and gave me a steroid injection. It began to work within two hours and I was speaking better and with no shortness of breath. The best doctor I have ever seen.
