WHAT IS PULMONOLOGY?

Pulmonology is a medical specialty that is concerned with treating illnesses and diseases that are afflicting the respiratory tract. Pulmonologists are specialists regarding conditions like asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and emphysema, as well as having expertise in life support and mechanical ventilation. They are also usually involved with internal medicine.

Kernodle Clinic Pulmonology Department focuses on providing expert examination and testing to determine your pulmonary condition. After determining a diagnosis for your pulmonary condition, our pulmonologist will provide the services needed to return your respiratory system to optimal functioning.
