Problems affecting the lungs and breathing are among those most disruptive to our quality of life. In some cases, pulmonary disorders, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are life-threatening.

If you battle respiratory problems, our pulmonologists can help. They use a pulmonary function laboratory to assist with complete evaluations. Based upon our doctors' analysis of this testing and other evaluations, a specific treatment plan is created for your needs. Sometimes this includes amazing treatments, such as brachytherapy for lung cancers and stents to open airways in the bronchial tubes. Clinical trials also may provide you with the opportunity to try promising, innovative treatments not available elsewhere.

If sleep problems haunt you, contact us for evaluation in our Sleep Evaluation Clinic. Our pulmonologists and other specialists go beyond initial testing to address a myriad of factors to see that healthy sleep is restored.

When beneficial, our pulmonologists work with specialists from other fields -- such as surgery, oncology, neurology, respiratory care and nutrition - providing a multidisciplinary approach to your care for optimal health.

• Asthma
• Sleep disorders
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
