Pulmonary Top Conditions Treated

From asthma and allergies to emphysema, COPD, and interstitial lung disease, breathing problems can cause substantial difficulty in the life of the patient. Developing a strong understanding of your breathing problem is important to finding an accurate medical diagnosis and resolving the issue through effective treatment. At PMA Health, we take time with our patients to help identify the cause of the problem, understand how it is affecting the individual, and then formulate the appropriate treatment plan with the patient.
