Our Pulmonology Services
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
COPD is a group of lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties and include conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Our pulmonologists specialize in diagnosing COPD and providing effective treatment plans, including bronchodilators, inhalers, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle counseling to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. We help manage asthma through medication, breathing exercises, allergen management, and regular monitoring to ensure that symptoms are under control and flare-ups are minimized.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and fatigue. Our pulmonologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, including CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, bi-level PAP, and sleep studies to evaluate and manage the severity of the condition.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of disorders that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, leading to difficulty breathing. We offer advanced diagnostic testing, such as CT scans and lung biopsies, and provide treatment options like medications to slow disease progression and improve lung function.
Pneumonia & Respiratory Infections
Pneumonia and other respiratory infections are common but can be serious. We provide immediate care for bacterial, viral, or fungal infections of the lungs, offering appropriate antibiotics, antiviral treatments, and oxygen therapy to help restore respiratory function.
Lung Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment
Early detection of lung cancer is crucial for successful treatment. Our pulmonologists offer comprehensive diagnostic services, including low-dose CT screening, biopsy, and bronchoscopy, and we work closely with oncologists to provide a multidisciplinary treatment approach, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical interventions.
Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, which can lead to heart failure if untreated. We diagnose and manage pulmonary hypertension through medications, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle modifications to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Chronic Cough
A chronic cough (lasting more than 8 weeks) can be caused by a range of conditions, including asthma, post-nasal drip, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or chronic bronchitis. Our team specializes in identifying the underlying cause of chronic cough and providing targeted treatment options.
Bronchitis & Emphysema
Bronchitis and emphysema are common conditions in COPD, and both can cause chronic cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. We offer treatments such as steroid inhalers, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation to manage symptoms and improve lung function.
Pulmonary Function Tests & Screening
We offer a range of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to evaluate lung capacity, airflow, and the efficiency of gas exchange. These tests are important for diagnosing conditions like asthma, COPD, and fibrosis, and also for monitoring lung health over time. Early detection and regular screening help prevent complications and improve treatment outcomes.
