Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system, providing expert care for breathing disorders and lung health.
Respiratory medicine, also known as pulmonology, is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Respiratory physicians manage conditions that affect breathing, oxygenation, and overall lung health, providing care for patients of all ages.
Respiratory physicians provide a wide range of services, including:
Our respiratory medicine team includes specialists in various subspecialties:
Respiratory physicians undergo extensive training, including 4 years of undergraduate studies, 4 years of medical school, internal medicine residency (typically 3 years), and specialized respiratory or pulmonology training (2-3 years). They maintain ongoing education and certifications to ensure up-to-date care and expertise in managing respiratory diseases, staying current with the latest advances in pulmonary medicine.
Comprehensive pulmonary function tests including spirometry, plethysmography, and diffusion capacity tests to assess lung function, diagnose respiratory conditions, and monitor treatment effectiveness.
Minimally invasive procedure using a flexible tube with a camera to examine the airways, obtain tissue samples, remove foreign objects, or treat conditions such as tumors or blockages in the lungs.
Comprehensive evaluation of sleep patterns and breathing during sleep to diagnose sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
Prescription and management of supplemental oxygen therapy for patients with chronic respiratory conditions to improve oxygenation and quality of life.
Structured programs combining exercise training, breathing techniques, education, and support to improve lung function, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall well-being for patients with chronic lung diseases.
Comprehensive care including diagnosis, medication management, inhaler technique training, and development of personalized asthma action plans to control symptoms and prevent exacerbations.
Multidisciplinary approach to managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including medications, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications to slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
Early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer through low-dose CT scans, bronchoscopy, and biopsy procedures, particularly for high-risk individuals such as long-term smokers.
Seek Medical Evaluation for Symptoms: Shortness of breath, chronic cough, or wheezing should be assessed by a respiratory physician to detect underlying conditions early. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve outcomes.
Manage Allergies and Asthma: Preventive care, proper medication use, and regular check-ups help control asthma and allergy symptoms, reducing complications and improving daily functioning.
Quit Smoking: Stopping smoking lowers the risk of lung disease, heart disease, and other respiratory complications, improving overall health. Our team provides smoking cessation support and resources.
Practice Breathing Exercises: Regular breathing exercises can strengthen respiratory muscles, improve lung capacity, and enhance endurance. These exercises are particularly beneficial for patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
