Pulmonology
Our experienced pulmonologists diagnose and treat a full range of respiratory conditions, including asthma, COPD and pulmonary hypertension. We also offer advanced interventional procedures and diagnostic bronchoscopy.
Conditions Treated:
- Asthma: A chronic respiratory disease characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways.
- Bronchiectasis: A condition where the airways become widened and damaged, leading to mucus buildup and infections.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): A group of lung diseases that cause airflow obstruction and breathing problems.
- Cystic Fibrosis: A genetic disorder that affects the lungs and other organs.
- Interstitial lung disease (IPF, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis)
- Lung cancer
- Occupational lung disease (silicosis, asbestosis, etc.)
- Pulmonary embolism: A condition where a blood clot travels from another part of the body, usually the legs (deep vein thrombosis), and blocks pulmonary arteries in the lungs.
- Pulmonary hypertension: Abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood through the lungs.
- Pulmonary nodules and lung cancer screening
- Pleural effusion: An abnormal accumulation of fluid in the thin membrane that lines the lungs and chest wall.
- Pneumonia
- Pulmonary Fibrosis: A condition where lung tissue becomes scarred and thickened, making it difficult to breathe.
- Pulmonary Hypertension: High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.
Diagnostic Services:
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): Non-invasive tests, like spirometry, to assess how well your lungs are functioning.
Bronchoscopy/ION EBUS: This procedure allows doctors to visualize the airways and lungs, potentially taking biopsies or samples for further analysis.
We also offer advanced procedures including bronchoscopy, airway stent and chest tube placement, bronchial thermoplasty for severe asthma, and more.
