Pulmonology is the branch of medicine focused on the lungs and respiratory system. It includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect breathing, such as asthma, chronic cough, lung infections, and sleep-related breathing disorders.
Pulmonologists are specialists trained to evaluate and manage everything from common issues like bronchitis to complex conditions such as lung cancer or pulmonary fibrosis.
If you're struggling to catch your breath, dealing with a lingering cough, or facing frequent chest infections, it may be time to consult a pulmonologist. Specialists in lung health, pulmonologists can help uncover the root cause of your symptoms, manage existing conditions like asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – a group of lung conditions that make it hard to breathe, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema), and prevent more serious complications—especially if you have a history of smoking or chronic respiratory issues.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or seeking answers to new symptoms, our services are designed to detect issues early, provide relief, and support long-term lung health through advanced testing and tailored treatment.
