What is Respiratory Medicine
Breathe in, breathe out. Breathing is an essential part of life. Impaired breathing from lung infections, asthma or other conditions means less oxygen is in the bloodstream which affects the body’s ability to function optimally. If you are having a hard time catching your breath, it is time to clear the air! Our respiratory physicians are trained to capture any forms of breathing distress and help you breathe better with state-of-the-art evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
