Pulmonary care involves treatment for your lungs and respiratory (breathing) system.
This system is made up of the airway, lungs and respiratory muscles. You may need to see a pulmonology specialist if you have breathing problems or a persistent cough. Our pulmonary doctors are committed to treating respiratory diseases and helping you breathe easier.
Lung disorders and conditions we treat
Our pulmonologists provide specialized treatment for patients suffering from lung conditions, which include:
- Cough and shortness of breath
- Asthma and COPD
- Lung fibrosis
- Lung nodules
- Sleep apnea
- Complex lung infections
Lung diagnostic tests we offer
Our specialists use cutting-edge methods to measure lung and breathing function, diagnose sleep and lung problems, and biopsy abnormal areas of the lung.
Some of these tests include:
- Pulmonary function tests: common test to investigate breathing function and monitor lung function
- Sleep studies: analyze sleep to identify any nighttime breathing disorders like sleep apnea
- Thoracentesis: procedure to draw off fluid from around the lung to both provide breathing relief and diagnose abnormalities
- Bronchoscopy: endoscopic procedure to biopsy and diagnose abnormalities in the lungs
- Navigational robotic bronchoscopy: advanced bronchoscopy using state-of-the-art technology to biopsy abnormal lung nodules
- Chest ultrasound: equipment to provide real-time imaging of the lungs in clinic
- Indwelling pleural catheter: catheter placed to assist in draining off chronic fluid around the lungs, usually due to cancer
