Pulmonology is a medical specialty that deals with the health of your respiratory tract. This includes your lungs and the passageways that oxygen travels through to get to your lungs, such as your throat and sinuses. A pulmonologist is trained in diseases and conditions of the chest, particularly pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema and other chest infections. At Dedicated Senior Medical Centers, your Primary Care Physician understands how to keep your lungs healthy and working like they should. Your PCP will also work closely with your lung doctor to coordinate your personal care plan and help you keep breathing well. Your PCP and lung specialist will always follow through with each other about your care, your test results and any changes in your health.
