Pulmonology is an area of medicine that focuses on the respiratory system, including the nose, mouth, throat, lungs, trachea, bronchi, and other components involved in the breathing and respiration (gas exchange) process. A pulmonologist will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involved with the respiratory system such as asthma, bronchitis, COPD, emphysema, lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and more. Through tests and studies, a pulmonologist will be able to diagnose respiratory conditions and monitor the effects of treatment options.

Your primary care provider, or family doctor, will determine if an appointment with a Pulmonologist would be beneficial in managing your care if you are having persistent or worsening respiratory symptoms.
