Pulmonology

Our lungs are vital because they enable the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, providing oxygen to the bloodstream while removing waste gases from the body. This oxygen is essential for energy production in every cell, making proper lung function crucial for overall health and the body’s ability to sustain life.

Our practice specializes in pulmonary disorders and focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases related to the lungs and respiratory system. The most common reasons patients seek our care are for symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough, or to understand findings on X-ray or CT scan that pertain to the lungs.  Common conditions treated include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, lung infections, and sleep-related breathing disorders. As pulmonary specialists, we use diagnostic tools such as chest X-rays, pulmonary function tests, and bronchoscopy to assess lung health. Treatment may involve medications, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, or procedures to manage symptoms and improve breathing. The goal is to enhance lung function, manage chronic conditions, and improve patients’ quality of life.
