Dr. Song Chon is a White Plains, MD physician who specializes in adult pulmonology.

"Terrible bedside manner. Left the visit confused, frustrated and angry by his interaction with me. It's bad enough to be sick but then to seek help from someone who doesn't answer questions and rushes you away without a clear understanding of what's going on with your health is horrible."

"I am a patient in remission from stage 4 lung cancer and have been seeing Dr. Omais for 5 years now! I have been sick for 2 weeks and the office manager is requiring me to get a PCR covid test before they will see me. I know it is alergies and a COPD exhaserbation going on. I know my body, ive been living in it for 60 years now. I went and got the PCR covid test, which was NEGATIVE and now I can not get through on the phone to this critical doctor of mine. I have been to the ER and to an Urgent Care facility, both of which recommend I see my pulmonary doctor! I have called 6 pulomonary doctors within 25 miles of me and cannot be seen by any of them. I am just appulded that this doctors office would treat me this way! "

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.
