What People Say About Dr. Karuna Ahuja
Dr. Karuna Ahuja is a wonderful pulmonologist and person. She should be teaching her skillful practice of medicine at a medical school! She is very thorough, taking her time to get an accurate patient history and she is very detailed when analyzing test results. Dr. Ahuja even noted that some of my lab results (outside of her specialty) were out of range, and her advice improved my overall health. She treats the whole patient. I respect that she dictates her clinical notes while she is with you in the exam room, which ensures an accurate medical record and patient comprehension. She takes time to listen and answer questions, a trait that is sadly lacking in many physicians. I do not give five-star ratings to many physicians, but she has earned them. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking pulmonary care!

Dr. Ahuja is the most compassionate, caring doctor I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. She always goes above and beyond for her patients. If it wasn’t because she believed me when no other doctors would because what I had was very hard to diagnose I don’t know if I would be here now “alive”! I owe this woman my life. I truly wish that more doctors would be as dedicated to her patients as Dr. Ahuja.

Dr. Ahuja has been my pulmonologist for many years. Not only is she a good medical doctor but she's also interested in other aspects of your life. She believes in treating the total person, very caring. The staff has always been very competent and a pleasure to work with.
Jean Warthen – Sept 2023
When I had COVID and my general practitioner wouldn't see me, Dr. Ahuja's office got me in immediately. Because of their intervention, I avoided a hospital stay. She did a thorough history and exam. She and her staff were very kind and sympathetic. They got the meds I needed and continue to follow up.

Idelisa Soberal Gutiérrez in Debary City, FL – Jul 16, 2016
I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 20 years in that time I have interacted with many clinicians none of which showed the expertise and caring as Dr. Ahuja. She takes her time with her patients looking to solve issues that may not be under her purview to guide them to achieve better health. She is proficient in her specialty and communication going above and beyond expectations. In addition, I found her staff a mirror image of her compassion and understanding.
