Lung disease is one of the most common health problems in America today. Infectious disease, smoking, indoor and outdoor environmental pollution, on the job exposure to pulmonary irritants, and allergies, all play a role in the development of various forms of chronic lung disease. Our pulmonary specialists are well versed in the diagnosis and treatment of acute illness due to asthma, acute bronchitis, and pneumonia. With the help of sophisticated x-ray, CT scans, MRI, pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, and nuclear scans the early diagnosis of emphysema, chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis, and lung cancer greatly improves our ability to provide effective treatment for these devastating diseases.
Our pulmonologists are also board certified in Intensive Care medicine. Working in conjunction with cardiologists, vascular, general and thoracic surgeons, and infectious disease specialists, our Intensivists coordinate the specialized care that has greatly improved survival in the intensive care units of the community.
Just as important as the complex technology of the Intensive Care Unit is the personal relationship generated in the outpatient department. Attention to detail, attentive listening, and accessibility of physician contact is an accepted part of the physician - patient pact. |
