Our team of dedicated pulmonologists offers comprehensive care using advanced diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions to improve lung health and overall respiratory function.
Diagnostic Services
We offer a range of diagnostic services to accurately assess respiratory conditions, including:
- Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): Comprehensive tests to evaluate lung function, including spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusion capacity tests.
- Imaging Studies: Chest X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans to assess lung anatomy and detect abnormalities such as tumors, infections, and interstitial lung diseases.
- Bronchoscopy: Procedure to visualize the airways using a flexible tube with a camera, allowing for biopsy collection, foreign body removal, and evaluation of lung conditions.
- Sleep Studies: Evaluation of sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea using polysomnography and home sleep testing.
