Philip Lynn Pirtle, MD

I have been an established patient of Dr. Pirtles for several years. He is professional, caring and takes his time answering your questions. I highly recommend Dr. Pirtle.

I worked with Dr Pirtle for years and if you need a pulmonologist, you need Dr Pirtle, Dr. Lee or Honeycutt. If better exists, I have not met them. As a nurse caring for patients, learning they were under the care of these doctors, was immediately encouraging; regardless of the prognosis. We knew their patients got the best. As a nurse, we only want the best too and when we cannot give it (but know better is possible) it can be frustrating and when advocating fails (all we can do) it affects how satisfied we feel with our jobs. If its true that happy nurses make happy patients (who increase profits), then working with these doctors or being affiliated with them makes you happier and improves your reimbursement! After they left Tomball Hospital, I hung out a while, but it was never the same. I did not stay because, without them, it wasnt the same. They were the pulmonologists who were the heart and soul of that hospital (for me). We have all moved on, but I have not worked with better since (I work in the medical center now, among the best, those who teach and the game changers in medicine); I learned so much from them and because of knowledge they shared with me and experiences in patient care we all share, they will always be with me, in a way. I truly think of them often; they are the standard by which all others are measured for me!
