Diagnosing Your Breathing Problem

We assess breathing problems through a detailed history of your symptoms combined with a thorough physical exam. We frequently use a pulmonary function test, including spirometry and chest imaging, to help diagnose your breathing problem. We will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure that you receive the most accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Your PMG pulmonary specialist provides a wide range of pulmonary services and procedures based on your individual needs. We provide pulmonary function tests, nebulizer treatments, peak expiratory flow rate monitoring and other office-based testing. More advanced procedures such as bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, bronchial thermoplasty, endobrochial ultrasound and blood gas analysis would be scheduled as outpatient procedures. These are just some of the pulmonary services we offer to diagnose and treat a variety of breathing issues that affect our patients. Whatever the cause of your breathing problem, it is important to speak with a physician who has had years of pulmonary training. We can help you understand what to expect and how to manage your condition.
