Dr. Kakish had a passion to help people since he was a child – and he loves the satisfaction that comes with diagnosing and treating the variety of lung and sleep disorders that detract from so many people’s quality of life. It’s important to him to invest time in explaining things to each patient. When Dr. Kakish reviews lung images with someone, or show them the results of their sleep study, they can see what the problem is with their own eyes. This builds their confidence and trust in him as he works together with his patients on a treatment plan.
