Pulmonary Diagnostic Laboratories

Our practice has two state-of-the art pulmonary function laboratories. Our pulmonary function labs enable us to deliver high-quality pulmonary tests to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory diseases. We are also able to provide a variety of diagnostic studies to help physicians better assess their patients who might have respiratory symptoms and/or limitations. The pulmonary lab can also provide the diagnostic tools to augment other procedures in order for the physician to reach a definitive diagnosis. In order to achieve a high standard of service and patient care, we are able to provide our pulmonary services results with interpretation to physicians and patients within a 24-hour turnaround time.

Our list of laboratory services includes: 

• Spirometry, pre- and post-bronchodilator
• Complete pulmonary function testing including lung volumes and diffusing capacity
• Hydrogen breath testing (detects lactose intolerance)
