"Don't usually write reviews, but was so impressed with Emily that I wanted to share - not only did she spend as much time as I needed with me, she had already pulled my records, reviewed them, highlighted various areas and then explained everything to me! She listened to my concerns and my suggestions and offered alternatives and informative medical advise. Maybe it was because she was a WOMAN and I've only seen MEN pulmonary doctors (5 of them!) I really felt she LISTENED and CARED. Excellent addition to our small town!"

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.
