If you’re not sure what’s causing your breathing problem, general pulmonology (or lung care) is a good place to start. Our pulmonologists (lung doctors) help you find relief from the pain and discomfort caused by lung diseases. 

No matter what may be causing your condition, we can help you find the treatment you need. If needed, we’ll refer you to specialized lung clinics in the hospital that provide care for many conditions:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Hypoxia (oxygen deprivation in a certain area of your body)

What to Expect

Your First Appointment

At your initial consultation, a lung specialist will help you decide which lung tests you’ll need. You might need one or more tests, like a chest X-ray or lung function testing. Testing can help determine what your condition is and which treatment options will be most effective.

Once the tests results come back, your doctor will sit down with you to help you understand the diagnosis and possible treatments. Together, you and your doctor will come up with a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment

There are many different treatment options for lung diseases. Depending on your condition, your treatment might include:

  • Medications, include injectable and inhalable medications
  • Medical devices that help you breathe
  • Oxygen therapy
  • Minimally invasive procedures (procedures with fewer or smaller incisions and faster recovery)
  • Behavioral treatments that help you change habits, like smoking or poor sleep schedule
  • Surgery

After starting your treatment plan, we’ll follow up with you to make sure your treatments are as effective as possible. If we see room for improvement, we’ll work with you to make adjustments to your treatment plan. Helping you be your healthiest and feel your best is always our first priority.
