Conditions We Treat

Asthma

Asthma, cough, chronic cough, and shortness of breath affect nearly 26 million people in the U.S. alone. This chronic disease causes difficulty in breathing due to inflammation of air passages that carry oxygen to the lungs. Symptoms can include wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.

Sleep

Good sleep is important for our every day health and well-being. But there are a number of sleep disorders that can affect us. Sleep apnea, insomnia and restless legs syndrome are just a few examples.

Critical Care

We manage the critical care services and pulmonary departments at numerous facilities and provide exclusive coverage 24 hours/day, 7 days/week in intensive and critical care units of Dallas, Plano and Allen, managing every ICU patient in 2 of the 4 hospitals we staff.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease encompasses both chronic bronchitis and also emphysema. Symptoms include shortness of breath and persistent cough. There are 4 stages of this disease that can be treated with medications or changes in lifestyle.

Lung Masses/Nodules

A lung mass is defined as an abnormal spot in the lungs that is more than 3 cm in size. If a spot is less than 3 cm in diameter, it is referred to as a lung nodule.

Interstitial Disease

Interstitial lung disease covers a range of lung diseases. However in each and every one of them the disease causes a thickening of what is referred to as the interstitium in the lungs. Some forms of this disease are chronic, while others are short lived.
