    Dr. Budev is an outstanding physician who has been taking care of my health for the past 11 years and is the reason I am alive with the lung transplant since 2014. She is one of the very few physicians who willingly coordinates all my health care needs across all medical disciplines. She is available to respond to my medical care needs 24 hr a day.
