Pulmonary Medicine
Stamford Hospital 's Department of Pulmonary Medicine provides evaluation and treatment of pulmonary conditions for patients in the hospital as well as on an outpatient basis. We offer a comprehensive range of consultative services using the newest diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Cough, wheeze, shortness of breath, chest pain, and abnormal chest X-rays are the most common reasons for which people seek pulmonary evaluation.
Our department has expertise in evaluating and treating a full range of pulmonary and lung conditions including:
- Asthma
- Emphysema
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Pulmonary Fibrosis
- Tuberculosis
- Lung Cancer
Our expertise in critical care medicine has resulted in an award-winning Intensive Care Unit with a national reputation.
All of our doctors are board-certified in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. Some are also certified in Sleep Medicine and Allergy and Immunology. We are available 24/7 for both in- and outpatients who require urgent attention and treatment. Outpatient treatment plans consist of coordinating a comprehensive multidisciplinary Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. This allows patients with respiratory issues to exercise in a supervised setting and to become more independent. Our doctors are often involved in clinical research studies in which eligible patients can participate.
