Adult Pulmonology

714 10th Street, Secaucus, NJ 07094

Dr. Ghassan Wardeh works as an adult pulmonology specialist in Wayne, NJ.

"Dr. Ghassan L. Wardeh, Pulmonologist (NJ lic 25MA07703500), killed my father.Despite several desperate pleas to decrease the high dose of Lasix prescribed by Dr. Wardeh that caused my father severe dehydration and kidney damage, the doctor refused to lower the dose. This high dose killed my father causing extreme electrolyte imbalance in addition to kidney damage and decreased blood volume - all warnings on the Lasix data sheet. My father was a small man in advanced age and was unable to tolerate the level of Furosemide as prescribed. His body wasted away to skin and bones obviously caused by the Lasix. He was cared for at the Preakness Healthcare Center in Wayne, NJ. Dr. Wardeh should not be practicing medicine anywhere. He has poor instincts and defers to protocol instead of considering pertinent information provided by family members specific to the patient in making appropriate decisions concerning the patient's care."

What is Pulmonology?

Pulmonology is a subspecialty that focuses on complex diseases of the lungs. In order to diagnose and treat lung disorders, a pulmonologist may also examine the chest, nose, throat, or heart. However, the main function of pulmonology is to make sure the lungs are functioning well.

Some of the diseases and disorders that might be treated by a pulmonologist include:

Pneumonia
Asthma
Tuberculosis
Emphysema
Mesothelioma and other lung cancers
Cystic Fibrosis

A pulmonologist often uses pulmonary function tests, such as spirometry, to measure how well the lungs are able to move air in and out. Pulmonologists are trained to take surgical samples and biopsies when needed, but they do not typically perform surgery. Pulmonologists may provide consultations to other doctors, acute care for sudden illnesses, or regular care for patients with long-term lung disorders.
