Meet Dr. David McElligott, Duly Pulmonary Medicine physician in Naperville. IL. 👋
From 5th grade to today, Dr. McElligott has known exactly what he wanted to do: help people breathe easier. Inspired by his father’s career in Pulmonary Medicine, he now brings that same dedication to every patient he sees at Duly.
“I would say listening and critical thinking are most important,” he shares. “We have a limited amount of time with our patients, so it’s important that we pay attention to what they’re saying and use that information — along with our exam and testing — to craft a treatment plan that truly helps them.”
One of his most meaningful cases involved helping a young woman recover from acute respiratory failure and seeing her return to the office fully recovered - a moment that reinforced why he can’t imagine doing anything else. He describes his work as rewarding, challenging, exciting, and fulfilling. 💙
