Lung & Chest Medical Associates care is restricted to that portion of medicine known as pulmonary medicine or pulmonary diseases. A pulmonary physician is a subspecialist in internal medicine who treats patients with lung or chest difficulties and sleep disorders. When our physicians see new patients in the office, they have most often been referred by their primary care doctor or another physician. We are also happy to have referrals from family members and friends of current patients if the medical difficulty is related to breathing. Our doctors are also consulted by other physicians to see hospitalized patients and often spend large portions of the day in the hospital wards and intensive care units.
