Pulmonology is an area of medicine that focuses on the health of the respiratory system. Pulmonologists diagnose and manage difficult or complicated diseases that occur in the lungs, upper airway, thoracic cavity and chest wall.

You may see one of our expert pulmonologists for the evaluation or treatment of diseases that make it difficult to breathe such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis and more.

In the hospital setting, they may also work with our team of respiratory therapists who oversee the management of patients needing specialized respiratory services like oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, life support, and more.
