Our Services

We provide consultations and evaluations for outpatients new to our practice, consultations for hospital inpatients (including those in the PICU and NICU), and ongoing care for all of these patients.

In our office we perform diagnostic pulmonary fuction testing, including spirometry pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry and pulse oximetry. We routinely perform diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy, often with bronchoalveolar lavage on both an outpatient as well as an inpatient basis.
