Pulmonologist

A pulmonologist is a medical specialist who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and chest. These experts manage conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis, interstitial lung disease, and sleep-related breathing disorders. Pulmonologists use advanced diagnostic tools like chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests, and bronchoscopy to evaluate lung health. They work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans, often coordinating with other specialists in cases of complex or chronic respiratory conditions. Their goal is to improve breathing, enhance quality of life, and prevent complications associated with lung diseases.
