Chronic Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis occurs when the airways in your lungs (bronchial tubes) become inflamed and produce excess mucus. This leads to a persistent cough that lasts for at least three months out of the year for two consecutive years. The condition causes the bronchial tubes to narrow, making it harder to breathe and leading to frequent respiratory infections.

We offer advanced treatments to help reduce inflammation, clear airways, and prevent complications. Our approach includes both immediate symptom relief and long-term management strategies to improve your breathing capacity.

Read more about Chronic Bronchitis

Emphysema

Emphysema is a serious lung condition where the air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs become damaged, leading to shortness of breath. This damage causes the inner walls of the air sacs to weaken and rupture, creating larger air spaces instead of many small ones, which reduces the surface area available for gas exchange during breathing.

Our treatment approach focuses on slowing the progression of emphysema while improving your breathing capacity. We offer various therapeutic options, including medications, pulmonary rehabilitation, and in some cases, surgical interventions to help you manage symptoms effectively.

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. These air sacs may fill with fluid or pus, causing symptoms such as cough with phlegm, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. The condition can range from mild to life-threatening, especially in older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

Our expert team provides comprehensive care for all types of pneumonia, including both bacterial and viral infections. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the specific cause and develop targeted treatment plans for optimal recovery.

Interstitial Lung Disease

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) refers to a group of disorders that cause progressive scarring of lung tissue. This scarring affects the interstitium, which is the tissue and space around the air sacs in your lungs, making it harder to breathe and get enough oxygen into your bloodstream. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, dry cough, and fatigue.

We offer comprehensive care for all types of ILD, using advanced diagnostic techniques to determine the specific cause and develop targeted treatment plans. Our approach may include medication, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation to help manage symptoms and slow disease progression.

Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect multiple organs, but most commonly impacts the lungs. The condition causes tiny clusters of inflammatory cells (granulomas) to form in various parts of your body. When these develop in your lungs, they can lead to breathing difficulties, chest pain, and persistent cough.

Our multidisciplinary team provides expert care for sarcoidosis, monitoring its progression and adjusting treatment plans as needed. We focus on controlling inflammation and preventing organ damage while helping you maintain your daily activities.

Read more about Sarcoidosis

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is an allergic reaction that causes inflammation in your lungs after inhaling specific environmental substances, such as mold spores, bacteria, or other organic dusts. This inflammation can make it difficult to breathe and cause long-term lung damage if exposure continues.

We help identify the triggering substances and develop comprehensive management plans that combine environmental modifications with medical treatment to prevent further lung damage and improve your breathing.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is a  sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur 30 times or more per hour. The condition can lead to daytime fatigue, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and increased risk of cardiovascular problems.

Our sleep specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment options, including sleep studies to determine the severity of your condition and personalized treatment plans to help you achieve restful sleep.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep. This is the most common type of sleep apnea, causing loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications including heart problems and high blood pressure.

We offer comprehensive treatment options, including CPAP therapy, oral appliances, and lifestyle modifications tailored to your specific needs and the severity of the condition.

Read more about Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary Hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in your lungs and the right side of your heart. This increased pressure makes it harder for your heart to pump blood through your lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and light-headedness.

Our specialized team provides expert care for all types of pulmonary hypertension, using advanced treatments to improve blood flow and reduce strain on your heart while helping you manage symptoms effectively.

Read more about Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary Embolism is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in your lung, blocking blood flow. This typically happens when clots from the deep veins in your legs travel to your lungs. Symptoms can include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and rapid heartbeat.

We provide immediate intervention and long-term management for pulmonary embolism, including emergency treatment when necessary and ongoing care to prevent future episodes.

Read more about Pulmonary Embolism

Asbestosis

Asbestosis is a serious, chronic lung disease caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers. When inhaled, these tiny fibers can become trapped in your lung tissue, causing scarring that leads to stiffness in your lungs and difficulty breathing. The condition typically develops many years after exposure, with symptoms including shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, chest pain, and loss of appetite.

Our specialized team provides comprehensive care focused on slowing disease progression and managing symptoms to improve your quality of life. While asbestosis cannot be cured, we offer treatments to help you breathe more easily and prevent complications.

Vaping-Related Lung Injury

Vaping-Related Lung Injury, also known as EVALI (E-cigarette or Vaping product use-Associated Lung Injury), is a serious respiratory condition caused by e-cigarette use or vaping. This condition can cause severe inflammation in your lungs, leading to symptoms such as breathing difficulty, chest pain, cough, fever, and fatigue.

We provide specialized treatment protocols for vaping-related lung injuries, including both immediate intervention and long-term recovery support. Our approach focuses on reducing inflammation and preventing further lung damage while helping you quit vaping safely.

Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer is a serious condition where abnormal cells in the lungs grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can spread to other parts of your body. Early symptoms may include persistent cough, chest pain, hoarseness, unexplained weight loss, and coughing up blood. We offer comprehensive cancer care, including early detection screening for high-risk individuals.

Our multidisciplinary team provides state-of-the-art treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted treatments. We create personalized treatment plans based on the type and stage of cancer, ensuring you receive the most effective care possible.

Chronic Cough

Chronic Cough is defined as a cough that persists for eight weeks or longer in adults. This persistent cough can significantly impact your quality of life and may be a sign of an underlying condition such as asthma, acid reflux, or post-nasal drip. The cough might be dry or produce mucus, and may be accompanied by throat irritation, voice changes, and fatigue.

We conduct thorough evaluations to identify the root cause of your chronic cough and develop targeted treatment plans to address both the symptoms and underlying condition.

Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis, also known as hay fever, occurs when your immune system overreacts to airborne substances like pollen, dust, or pet dander. This allergic response causes inflammation in your nasal passages, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. The condition can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of sleep.

Our approach combines immediate symptom relief with long-term management strategies, including allergen identification, avoidance techniques, and immunotherapy when appropriate.

Read more about Allergic Rhinitis

Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pulmonary Fibrosis involves progressive scarring of lung tissue, making it increasingly difficult to breathe over time. The scarring causes the lung tissue to become thick and stiff, reducing its ability to transfer oxygen into your bloodstream. Symptoms include progressive shortness of breath, dry cough, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss.

We offer comprehensive care utilizing the latest treatment options to slow disease progression and help manage symptoms, including medication therapy, oxygen supplementation, and pulmonary rehabilitation programs.

Respiratory Failure

Respiratory Failure is a serious condition that occurs when your lungs cannot properly exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with your blood. This can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (developing over time). The condition requires immediate medical attention as it can be life-threatening. Symptoms include severe shortness of breath, rapid breathing, bluish color in lips or fingers, and confusion.

Our intensive care teams provide immediate intervention and ongoing management for both acute and chronic respiratory failure, utilizing advanced life support systems when necessary.

Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax, commonly known as a collapsed lung, occurs when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall. This air pushes on the outside of your lung and makes it collapse. Symptoms include sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. The condition can be spontaneous or result from chest injury.

We provide prompt evaluation and treatment, which may include observation for small collapses or more active interventions like chest tube placement for larger collapses.

Pleural Effusion

Pleural Effusion occurs when excess fluid builds up in the space between your lungs and chest wall (pleural space). This fluid accumulation can compress your lung, making breathing difficult. Common symptoms include chest pain, dry cough, difficulty breathing, and fever if the fluid is infected.

Our team provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, including thoracentesis to remove excess fluid when necessary, along with treatment of any underlying conditions causing the effusion.

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to your lungs and digestive system. The condition affects cells that produce mucus, making it thick and sticky. This leads to chronic lung infections, breathing problems, and digestive issues. Symptoms include persistent cough with thick mucus, frequent lung infections, and poor growth.

We provide specialized care through our Cystic Fibrosis program, offering comprehensive treatment plans that address both respiratory and nutritional needs.

Read more about Cystic Fibrosis

Lung Nodules

Lung Nodules are small masses of tissue in the lungs that appear as round, white shadows on a chest X-ray or CT scan. While most nodules are noncancerous, they require evaluation to determine their nature. These nodules may not cause symptoms and are often discovered during imaging tests for other conditions.

We provide thorough evaluation of lung nodules using advanced imaging techniques and, when necessary, minimally invasive procedures to determine if further treatment is needed.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection

RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. However, it can be serious, especially for infants and older adults. The virus infects the lungs and breathing passages, causing inflammation that can lead to bronchiolitis and pneumonia in severe cases. Symptoms include runny nose, coughing, sneezing, fever, and wheezing.

We provide specialized care for RSV infections, with particular attention to high-risk patients, offering both supportive care and monitoring to prevent complications.

A bronchoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows us to visually examine your airways using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope). This minimally invasive procedure helps us:

• Identify abnormalities in your airways
• Obtain tissue samples when needed
• Assess various lung conditions including infections and tumors
• Evaluate chronic cough or other unexplained symptoms

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you can usually go home the same day. While you might experience a mild soreness in the  throat afterward, this examination provides valuable information about your lung health and helps us determine the most effective treatment plan.

Diagnostic Bronchoscopy

A bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to look inside your airways using a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope. This tube has a tiny camera at its tip and is inserted through your nose or mouth while you're under local anesthesia or mild sedation. During the procedure, your doctor can examine your throat, larynx, trachea, and lower airways to identify any problems such as inflammation, bleeding, or tumors.

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you can usually go home the same day. While you might experience a mild soreness in the  throat afterward, this examination provides valuable information about your lung health and helps us determine the most effective treatment plan for your condition.

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)

Pulmonary Function Tests are a group of non-invasive tests that show how well your lungs are working. Think of these tests as a thorough check-up for your breathing system. During PFTs, you'll be asked to breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a machine called a spirometer. The tests measure various aspects of your breathing, including how much air you can inhale and exhale, how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs, and how well your lungs deliver oxygen to your blood.

These painless tests typically take 45-90 minutes and provide crucial information about your lung capacity, airflow, and overall respiratory health. The results help us diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, monitor existing lung conditions, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.

Learn more about Pulmonary Function Tests

Chest X-rays and CT Scans

These imaging tests allow us to see detailed pictures of your lungs and surrounding structures. A chest X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces a two-dimensional image of your chest, helping us identify basic problems like pneumonia, lung cancer, or fluid around the lungs. It's often the first imaging test we use when examining lung problems.

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan provides more detailed, three-dimensional images of your lungs. During this painless procedure, you lie still on a table that moves through a donut-shaped machine while multiple X-ray images are taken from different angles. These detailed images help us detect subtle abnormalities that might not be visible on regular X-rays and are particularly useful for diagnosing conditions like small lung nodules or early-stage lung cancer.

Learn more about Chest Imaging

Thoracentesis

Thoracentesis is a procedure that removes excess fluid from the space between your lungs and chest wall (pleural space). When fluid accumulates in this space, it can make breathing difficult. During the procedure, your doctor numbs a small area of your chest wall and carefully inserts a thin needle between your ribs to remove the fluid. This fluid can then be tested to determine what's causing the buildup.

The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, and most patients experience immediate relief from breathing difficulties. While you might feel some pressure during the procedure, the use of local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort.

Lung Biopsy

A lung biopsy is a procedure where we take a small sample of lung tissue for detailed examination. This helps us diagnose various lung conditions, including cancer, infections, and inflammatory diseases. We offer several types of lung biopsy procedures, choosing the most appropriate method based on your specific situation:

• Needle biopsy is the least invasive, using a thin needle inserted through your chest wall under imaging guidance.
• Bronchoscopic biopsy uses a bronchoscope to take samples during a bronchoscopy.
• Surgical biopsy might be necessary for larger samples or hard-to-reach areas. 

Each method is performed with appropriate anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)

EBUS is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure that combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound imaging. This technology allows us to see beyond the airways' walls and examine nearby lymph nodes and other structures. During the procedure, a special bronchoscope with a tiny ultrasound probe at its tip is guided through your mouth and into your airways while you're under sedation.

EBUS is particularly useful for diagnosing and staging lung cancer, as it allows us to take precise tissue samples from lymph nodes without the need for more invasive surgical procedures. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and you can usually go home the same day.

Learn more about EBUS

Therapeutic Bronchoscopy

Therapeutic bronchoscopy goes beyond just examining your airways – it's a procedure where we actively treat problems we find in your breathing passages. Using specialized tools attached to the bronchoscope, we can remove objects that may be blocking your airways, such as mucus plugs, foreign objects, or tissue growths. We can also place stents to keep airways open or apply treatments directly to affected areas.

This procedure is performed under sedation or anesthesia for your comfort, and while you may experience a mild sore throat afterward, most patients notice immediate improvement in their breathing. Recovery time is typically short, and most patients can return home the same day or the next day, depending on the specific treatment performed.

Chest Tube Insertion

Chest tube insertion, also known as tube thoracostomy, is a procedure where we place a flexible tube into the space between your lungs and chest wall. This tube helps drain accumulated air, blood, or fluid that can compress your lung and make breathing difficult. Think of it as creating a controlled pathway to remove unwanted substances from around your lung, allowing it to re-expand and function properly.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and while you may feel some pressure during insertion, the relief in breathing difficulties is often immediate. The tube typically stays in place for several days while drainage continues, and we monitor your progress carefully until it can be safely removed.

Lobectomy and Pneumonectomy

These are surgical procedures where we remove damaged or diseased portions of your lung. A lobectomy removes one lobe of your lung (your right lung has three lobes, and your left has two), while a pneumonectomy removes an entire lung. These procedures are typically performed to treat lung cancer, but may also be necessary for other conditions like severe infections or bronchiectasis.

We perform these surgeries using either traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on your specific situation. Recovery typically involves a hospital stay of 5-7 days, followed by a rehabilitation period at home. Our team provides comprehensive support throughout your recovery, including pain management and breathing exercises to help you regain strength.

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

VATS is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions and specialized video equipment to perform lung procedures. Instead of making a large chest incision, we create several small incisions through which we insert a tiny camera and surgical instruments. The camera provides a clear, magnified view of your chest cavity on video monitors, allowing us to perform precise surgical procedures.

This approach typically results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. While not all lung procedures can be performed using VATS, it's an excellent option for many patients needing lung biopsies, small tumor removals, or treatment of pleural diseases.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy

CPAP therapy is a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea, helping you breathe normally during sleep. The therapy uses a machine that delivers a continuous flow of air through a mask you wear while sleeping. This gentle air pressure keeps your airways open, preventing the pauses in breathing that characterize sleep apnea.

While it may take some time to adjust to sleeping with a CPAP machine, most patients report significant improvements in their sleep quality, daytime alertness, and overall health once they adapt to the therapy. Our team works closely with you to ensure proper mask fitting and machine settings, and we provide ongoing support to help you get the most benefit from your treatment.

Inhalation Therapy

Inhalation therapy delivers medication directly to your airways and lungs through devices like inhalers or nebulizers. This direct delivery method means that smaller doses of medication can be used while achieving better results than oral medications. We offer several types of inhalation devices:

• Metered-dose inhalers deliver precise amounts of medication in aerosol form, while dry powder inhalers provide medication in powder form. 
• Nebulizers convert liquid medicine into a fine mist that you can easily inhale through a mask or mouthpiece. 

Our respiratory therapists will work with you to determine the best device for your needs and ensure you know how to use it correctly.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive program designed to help you manage your lung condition and improve your quality of life. The program combines exercise training, breathing techniques, nutritional counseling, and education about your lung condition. Think of it as a specialized fitness program for your lungs and overall health.

Our structured sessions typically run for 8-12 weeks, with meetings 2-3 times per week. You'll work with a team of specialists including respiratory therapists, physical therapists, and nutritionists who will help you build strength, improve your breathing efficiency, and learn strategies for managing your condition in daily life.

Learn more about Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Allergy Immunotherapy

Allergy immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, is a long-term treatment that decreases your sensitivity to specific allergens. The therapy works like a vaccine – we give you gradually increasing amounts of an allergen, helping your immune system build up tolerance to the substance. This can lead to lasting relief from allergy symptoms and prevent the development of asthma in some cases.

Treatment typically begins with shots once or twice a week for several months, followed by maintenance doses every few weeks. While it requires a long-term commitment, many patients experience significant reduction in their allergy symptoms and need for medication.

Learn more about Allergy Immunotherapy

Stenting Procedures

Airway stenting involves placing small tube-like devices (stents) to hold open airways that have become narrowed or blocked by disease processes. These stents act like scaffolding, keeping the airway open and making breathing easier. The procedure is typically performed during a bronchoscopy, with you under sedation or anesthesia.

While some patients have stents placed temporarily, others may need them long-term. Our team provides ongoing care to monitor the stent and ensure it continues to function properly, making adjustments or replacements as needed.

Learn more about Airway Stenting

Surgical Interventions for Lung Cancer

Our surgical approach to lung cancer is comprehensive and personalized, ranging from minimally invasive procedures to remove small tumors to more extensive operations when necessary. The type of surgery depends on the cancer's size, location, and stage, as well as your overall health.

We use the latest surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery when appropriate, to provide the best possible outcomes. Our multidisciplinary team works together to coordinate your care before, during, and after surgery, including rehabilitation support to help you recover and regain strength.

Management of Chronic Cough

Our approach to managing chronic cough is comprehensive and individualized, as we understand how a persistent cough can significantly impact your quality of life. The first step involves a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your cough, which might include acid reflux, post-nasal drip, asthma, or other conditions. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including breathing function tests, imaging studies, and when necessary, airway examinations.

Treatment is tailored to address both your symptoms and the underlying cause. This may include medications such as cough suppressants, acid reducers, or inhalers, depending on what's triggering your cough. We also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, such as elevation of your head while sleeping or avoiding trigger foods, that can help reduce cough frequency and severity. Throughout your treatment, we monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.

Management of Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism requires immediate and expert care, and our comprehensive management approach begins with rapid assessment and initiation of appropriate treatment. The primary treatment typically involves anticoagulation (blood thinning) medication to prevent existing clots from growing larger and to prevent new clots from forming. We carefully monitor your response to treatment and adjust medication dosages as needed.

For severe cases, we may recommend more aggressive treatments such as thrombolytic therapy (clot-dissolving medications) or, in rare cases, surgical removal of the clot. Following the acute phase of treatment, we develop a long-term management plan that includes:

• Regular monitoring of your blood's clotting levels
• Assessment of your risk factors for future clots
• Strategies to prevent recurrence, such as compression stockings or lifestyle modifications
• Coordination with your primary care physician for ongoing care

Our team provides continuous support throughout your recovery, educating you about warning signs of future clots and helping you maintain an appropriate level of physical activity while healing
