Pulmonary Medicine
Pulmonary medicine deals with the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases and diseases of the respiratory tract. All of our doctors are board certified pulmonology specialists. We treat a wide range of pulmonary diseases and conditions.
We begin by evaluating your symptoms, reviewing your medical history and examining any relevant x-rays, images and lab results. We may then suggest additional testing in order to diagnose or rule out specific diseases. Once we are able to make an accurate diagnosis, we will discuss the results with you and provide you with more information about your condition and the treatment options that are available. Our doctors will listen to your concerns, answer your questions and formulate the best treatment plan for your specific condition.
