Some issues Dr. Samuel T. Nadler, MD, PHD can help you with:

CPAP Treatment

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment is a medical treatment for people with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea interrupts breathing during sleep, resulting in lapses of oxygen. Lapses of oxygen may in turn lead to severe headaches, heart problems, fatigue, and poor sleep quality. The CPAP device remedies sleep apnea by forcing open the airway with pressurized air, ensuring someone receives enough oxygen while sleeping. The CPAP device is a mask attached to a machine (with a tube) that takes in air from the surrounding room, filters it, and then pressurizes it. The constant flow of pressurized air treats sleep apnea by keeping the tongue and soft palate from obstructing the throat and airway. Benefits of CPAP treatment include:

  • Improved concentration and focus
  • Reduced snoring
  • Lowered risk of heart disease and stroke
  • Improved mental health

In order to receive a CPAP device, patients must receive a prescription from a physician. Some patients may be asked to complete an overnight sleep study known as a titration study. A titration study monitors patients' sleep using a mask attached to a CPAP machine. The technician may monitor and adjust the CPAP's air pressure throughout the night. The purpose of a titration study is to determine the appropriate air pressure for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (blocked upper airway). Once an appropriate CPAP pressure is identified, physicians or sleep technicians may recommend a specific brand or style of device to the patient for long-term use.

Lung Issues

Every cell in the body requires oxygen to function and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. In order to keep the body's tissues constantly supplied with fresh oxygen and to keep waste from building up, the lungs pump air in and out, even while sleeping or unaware. Unfortunately, diseases and disorders affecting the lungs are some of the most common medical problems afflicting people around the world. Some of the most common lung problems include asthma, COPD, pneumonia, and lung cancer.

Asthma is a chronic disease where swollen, inflamed airways make it hard to breathe. It is often brought on by specific triggers. While asthma is a common condition, affecting millions of people, it can also be serious and even fatal in severe cases. Treatment involves avoiding triggers and using inhaled corticosteroid medications.

COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is the name given to two illnesses that both cause difficulty breathing: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In emphysema, the air sacs of the lungs become damaged, while with bronchitis they become clogged with mucus. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. It is almost always caused by breathing irritants into the lungs, such as smoking or heavy pollution.

Pneumonia is a lung infection that can be caused by bacteria, a virus, or fungi. Most healthy people recover from pneumonia in a week or two, but for some people pneumonia can be fatal. There are treatments available for pneumonia, but the best treatment is to prevent getting sick in the first place. People who are at risk should make sure they get a flu shot every year. There is also a vaccine available for the type of bacteria that causes pneumonia.

Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells inside the lung grow into a tumor, destroying healthy tissue. Because it is so difficult to detect lung cancer in early stages when it has few symptoms, it is the deadliest form of cancer, responsible for the most cancer deaths both in the U.S. and worldwide. Most lung cancer is caused by exposure to tobacco smoke, but between 10-15% of cases are not linked to smoking.

Some problems with the lungs are minor and are not cause for concern. However if symptoms have lasted for a month or more, even if they are minor, it is worth checking with a healthcare professional. A cough, shortness of breath, or excess mucus production that lingers for weeks are all worth getting looked at.

Lung Transplant

Patients who have very severe lung disease may need a lung transplant. The diseased lung is entirely removed and replaced with a healthy lung, usually donated by a person who died. Either one or both lungs can be transplanted.

Contrary to popular belief, lung transplant is rarely used to treat lung cancer. It is a more common treatment for patients with other advanced lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Lung transplant is a serious operation and is generally used as a last resort for patients who have only a short time to live without surgery.

During a transplant, an incision is made on the side of the chest (for a single lung) or in the middle (for both lungs). Patients may be hooked up to a heart-lung bypass machine, which will do the work of moving blood and oxygen through the body during the procedure. After the diseased lung is cut away from the main airway and blood vessels, the donor lung is stitched into place. Surgery may take as long as twelve hours, and a hospital stay of two to three weeks after surgery is not uncommon. For the first hours or day after surgery, patients use a ventilator, or a machine to help them breathe. Tubes will be inserted into the chest to help drain excess air and fluid. During recovery, physical therapy and breathing exercises are used to help the new lung work as well as possible.

Lung capacity is carefully monitored for several months after surgery. Patients who have had a transplant will also have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their lives. These drugs stop the body's immune system from attacking the new lung. The main risks after a transplant are infection and rejection (when the immune system attacks the 'foreign' lung). A healthy lifestyle, including maintaining a diet high in vegetables and lean protein, not smoking, and getting enough exercise, is important to keeping the lungs functioning as well as possible. With proper care, many patients can live ten or even twenty years after a lung transplant.

Dr Nadler seemed to listen and not just go by what other phsicians had said. . I have poorly for the last couple of years. Other clinicans have stated. That the numbers don't indicate this. My SOB has increased over time. It is now with any activity. Saying it's probably long term covid not helpfull;. He did a demonsration on a new inhaler.and then had me do a return demonsration. Very helpfull. Hard to have dr Nadler when they work as a tea. Had a poor experience with a previous pulmonologist and would prefer to have dr Nadler as the physicia

My visit with Dr. Nadler was 100% on every count. In our time together, all issues were thoroughly explored and my many questions were addressed clearly. His probing questions deeply explored any potential of concern and were very much integrated with my full medical records via the Swedish system. I was greatly impressed by Dr. Nadler and to have had access to such expertise combined with ideal personal interaction that made me confident with plans going forward for my health with my full team of Swedish MDs.

Bad: I was not contacted or reminded to make a a follow up appointment after I saw Dr Nadler last year. When I did need to see him the next appt was months away. Good - I got on a waitlist and was able to see him much sooner. Good - Dr Nadler had an assistant set up a follow up appointment immediately following this recent visit. Good - I was sicker than I realized and Dr Nadler's prescription for prednisone has been extremely helpful. He is an excellent provider and I feel very lucky.

Dr. Nadler comes into the room completely knowledgeable about my history. He also explains his recommendations based on careful review of data and tests. He is an excellent medical provider. He listens carefully and treats me with the greatest of respect. He has been invaluable in diagnosing my lung issues and coordinating with other doctors regarding my current medications. He is just superb.

While it was easy to schedule the appointment over the phone, the length of time to actually get in and see the MD was too long, > 4 months. The provider was exceptional- good listening skills, provided evidence base information, included me in the care plan and explained everything in detail. Highly recommend the provider on his skill set but needs better availability.

Dr nadler is a wonderful doctor who listens carefully, responds thoughtfully, and demonstrates true care. I don't call all people I interact with in the medical profession care providers, but dr nadler is definitely a care provider attending to my physiological and medical needs while communicating clearly and with empathy and considering me as an individual human.

Although it took 5 months for me to get an appointment with Dr. Nadler (as a new patient, following my pneumonia), he was well worth the wait. He ordered tests for me and went over everything thoroughly with a new plan for my chronic cough/colds which usually turn into bronchitis and/or pneumonia. Dr. Nadler was compassionate and listened well.

I brought up an unrelated problem I had been having and he gave me valuable ideas on what to do. Also if it recurs. He also went over my meds that he had me on and gave me good info on how and when to take them to full advantage. He has done that before, but I really appreciate going over it again. Gives me a chance to ask questions (again).

Dr Nadler is likely the best provider I have had the honor to meet. He demonstrated expertise with patient centered care, including active listening, educating and sharing the screen.
