Puri, Amitab, MD - Pima Lung & Sleep

Dr. Puri is the best physician I have ever had seen. He is not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also takes the time to explain medical terminology and conditions so that his patients and their families can fully understand the situation at hand. I have referred several friends and family – I trust him fully. more

Dr. Puri is the best doctor I have ever seen. I have numerous doctors from oncologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, not to mention my primary doctor, and Dr. Puri is the only one that has ever heard me. There was a little bit of a wait in the room after he seen me, but to me good things are worth waiting for. Dr. Puri not only saved my life at the hospital, but he got to the root of one my main medical problems. Plus, his medical assistants were extremely pleasant and very respectful. It is easy for us to complain when something goes wrong, but it is also important to point out the good. I wish I could have met Dr. Puri when my mother was here; I truly believe he would have been able to help her as he has helped me. more

Absolutely the worst place EVER!!!! They consider people from Tucson stupid and know they can make money off uneducated morons I believe is how they phrase it. They scream holler and cuss at employees causing complete chaos. Hippa and many other violations occur regularly here. The only safe place in this disgraceful office is the bathroom if you don't want to be recorded. That mans wife is a demon!!!!!! shes horrible . I hope their business is eventually shut down. Very high turn over and word around town is they are the worst!! more

Dr. Puri treated my mother with exceptional care. She was referred to him for COPD. Not only did he treat her for her breathing issues, but he also found out she had sleep apnea. Since she has been diagnosed and treated, she no longer sleeps all day, snores, or wakes up in the middle of the night. She wakes up feeling rested and is a happier person. Seeing Dr. Puri has been a life changing experience. more

I can assure anyone who reads this that ANY positive comment was done by the doctors themselves and are definitely FAKE!! I know from personal experience working there that this is by far the worst ran sleep clinic and lung doctors ever. I have worked all over the United States and have worked for some pretty harsh doctors. NOTHING OR NOONE COMPARES TO HOW NASTY THESE DRS ARE!!!! It is absolutely horribly sad how horrible the staff and patients are treated. May God have mercy on their souls. more

Do not go work there or go there as a patient even if your life depended on it. You are better off somewhere else. They go through staff like crazy and treat them very badly. Their work conditions are dangerous a bunch of medical records all thrown on the floor while their staff trips over them. Dr. Sarah Puri is constantly yelling at her employees and disrespecting them for not billing for the most expensive procedure even if the patient doesn't need it.Can we say medical coding fraud! They do care about the patients health just after your money.They yell at their patients and talk bad about them. Bless their souls for they shall be judge soon. more

This is the worst place I would never in my right mind ever suggest anyone going here. The office staff is hateful and fails to let you know there is a problem when you arrived 20min before appointment. The decide to say they are not going to see you when the week before when I was there everything was fine and I had to wait over an hour for my appointment. The office manager came out and shoved her fingers in my face and proceeded to try and yank my book out of may hand. I told her I can do the same thing and stuck my fingers in her face and said ya yayayaya. Then I asked her do you like it when people stick there fingers up in your face. She proceeded to tell me she was calling the police because I scared her when I did that, but it is ok for her to do and yank my book from me. I think not. This is the nastiest and foulest spoken staff I have ever seen. I know God was looking down on them and thinking of the Sodom and Gomorrah. I don't have any clue how this place can still be in business with the way they treat people. Something needs to be done. more

I am impressed with the staff and Dr Puri. I got in quickly. Very respectful staff and doctor. I have referred my mother and my aunt to the practice. We are all very happy. more

I was referred to Pima Lung after 2 sleep studies done at another clinic. During 2 years of treatment, I had 2 more sleep tests and several pulmonary function tests done. I also had nasal surgery upon Dr Puri's recommendation. None of this appears to have noticeably improved my sleep apnea. When a lung xray by another Dr. showed a growth in my lung, I had to make multiple requests for Dr. Puri's office to take responsibility for follow-up studies. About 6 months after my initial visit, I was handed off to another physician, Dr. Haloftis, with no explanation whatsoever. After a year in his care, I showed up for an appt. and was told he no longer worked there, again with no explanation. I had to insist on seeing Dr. Puri instead of his new nurse practitioner. The office staff is constantly changing, and most have minimal or no customer service training. Some staff members are deliberately rude, including the PFT tech. Others seem clueless. They lose phone messages and records all the time and do not return phone calls. Office wait times are longer than at any other physician's office I go to. Dr. Puri does not like being questioned, nor does he take complaints about his office staff seriously. His clinic's website, designed by his wife, asks patients to submit confidential medical information over a completely insecure website interface. Initially, his practice seemed designed to pack the maximum number of patients in, and Dr. Puri seemed reluctant to spend much time with patients. This has recently changed due to patient complaints and Dr. Haloftis' unexpected departure. It is hard not to get the impression that the people who work for him flee after a few months, and as others have suggested, there are always reasons for this.

After searching for many years to find a pulmonologist I could trust and have confidence in - I finally found Dr. Amitab Puri. I am greatful for Dr. Puri's skill and appreciate his respect towards his patients. Dr. Puri encourages my autonomy and ?independent decision making,"" by objectively presenting me with options and odds. He encourages me to actively exchange ideas, explicitly discuss any concerns to serve in my best interest. Dr. Puri offers recommendations that promote a respectful collaboration between patient and physician so that I can autonomously make informed choices that focus on both the medical facts and his experience. The office is centrally located which is convenient and the office staff is always professional and goes the extra mile to communicate and make my experience with them a positive one. Dr. Puri is a great Pulmonologist and he truly cares for those he serves. Carol - Tucson more

This place is always hiring cause they treat the employees here HORRIBLE! They scream and yell at them in front of patients. They don't train them what so ever hiring anyone that they can (even those with NO EXPERIENCE) and then firing them cause they do something wrong and don't meet their expectations. The staff there informs those that pick up the phone that if someone wants to see a dr and has an outstanding test like a PFT or EKG they are to schedule them for the Dr visit BUT at the same time schedule them for the missed tests so they can get the money for them. So the patients come in thinking they are coming in to speak to a Dr about what's going on and being thrown into a bunch of tests keeping them at the office for HOURS!! Not a good place they also look at the following days clinic files and see what they can do as far as test BEFORE YOU ARE EVEN SEEN! This is shady and unacceptable. DON'T go to this office. You will get scammed! If you don't believe me check out your file while they call you back the notes for what recommended tests are paper clipped to the front of your file. Of course now that I have exposed this they will find some other place to put it to give the Dr a heads up! And if you want to see a REAL Dr that knows what he is doing and has compassion and treats the staff well... See Dr Haloftis. Dr Puri is unprofessional and he is the one you hear screaming at his staff.... SOME TO TEARS!!!! more

Dr. Puri is an excellent Physician who truly cares about his patients. We are very fortunate to have such a fine Physician practicing here in Tucson. His staff is very professional, friendly and helpful whenever I'm in his office. Thank you Dr. Puri for your everything you do!! more

I am grateful for the care my mother received from Dr. Puri and the staff at Pima Lung. Dr. Puri and his staff exceeded my expectations! Dr. Puri took the time to listen to my mother and treated her with tremendous patience. Sometimes this is not easy to do when it comes to the elderly. Believe me, I have seen how rude other doctors can be and it was so refreshing to go to a doctors office where the staff was courteous and Dr. Puri was wonderful!! I cannot say enough good things about Pima Lung. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! more

Excellent MD! I am absolutely surprised by the negative reviews of Dr. Puri and office staff! Those comments can't be further from the truth which is what prompted me to sign up on CitySearch and write about my experience with Pima Lung and Sleep. I'm a middle aged woman who has seen more than my fair share of dr's due to illness but I've never had a physician like Dr Puri, who genuinely cared about me, who listened to my concerns, didn't make me feel like a fool & never rushed. Dr Puri obviously sets the tone for the entire office staff because they are professional, kind and friendly. I've been to see Dr Puri more than once and a few weeks ago, Dr. Puri spent over 40 minutes with me in a consultation. I am sorry my treatment was so time-consuming because it delayed appointments for other patients but I am extremely grateful Dr. Puri took the time necessary to care for me properly. I believe that for the first time in my life, I've found a true partner in my health care with Dr. Puri... wish I had that relationship with my primary physician. more

Dr Puri, Amitab more

When I was struggling to stay asleep at night I was referred to Dr. Puri and Pima Lung & Sleep. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was in great hands! Everyone was so nice and helpful, and the sleep lab is gorgeous. I felt Iike I'd checked into a 4 star hotel!!! Dr Puri was very kind, and through and answered all my questions and quickly got me diagnosed and on my treatment program. I truly felt cared for and for that I cannot give enough praise and thanks to everyone at Pima Lung! more

Dr. Puri is not only an expert in his field but an exceptional doctor that cares deeply for each of his patients. Talking to doctors is not a particularly positive experience as they normally are rushing from patient to patient, but, Dr. Puri is different, he trully listened!! He allowed me to explain my symptoms and further questioned me, all while paying attention. more

My wife has really bad asthma and she thought it was just something she would have to deal with cause no one was able to get it under control. Dr Puri did an amazing job and took the time to find the solution. Her asthma is now under control and I have an appt set up to see him about my snoring. I would suggest anyone to see Dr. Puri. more

I had gone for a check up, as I was not feeling up to par. The doctor seeing my health condition send me to a cardiologist immediately, the same afternoon. The cardiologist put me in the hospital and had two more heart surgeons on call and ready to do open heart surgery on me. They conducted all kinds of tests including chest-Xrays. They could not find what was wrong and send me to yet another hospital in the same city. The previous doctors thought I was having a heat attack, as I was having chest pain and I was having a having a hard time breathing and could only walk a few steps at a time. After numerous exams, on orders of the doctors I was discharged from the hospital, and I went back to the hotel, as we lived in Mexico at that time. At the hotel. I still had chest pain and could not walk or breath without pain in my chest. My daughter who is a nurse in Tucson called and said; Mom I have the best doctor for you, he is a genius, he will fine what is wrong with you, don more

I have been working in the medical field for 25 years. I have worked with some of the very best physicians in Arizona. Among the very best is Dr. Amitab Puri. He ranks at the very top of the group due to his skill, talent and knowledge of Critical Care Medicine. When my own family requierd medical care - Dr. Puri was the first physician I thought of. He managed my mother's care passionately and thoroughly. He allowed her a great deal of time and attention so often sacrificed these days. The office is incredibly beautiful and office staff was extremely professional. I appreciate the quality Dr. Puri shares with all his patients. more
