Pulmonary Evaluation

Pulmonary Evaluation at PulmoCrit

A pulmonary evaluation is a comprehensive specialist assessment of your lungs and airways. At PulmoCrit, a new patient pulmonary evaluation goes beyond the basics — your physician reviews your full respiratory history, interprets any prior imaging, performs an exam, and in most cases completes in-office testing (spirometry or a full PFT) on the same visit.

Common reasons patients seek a pulmonary evaluation include: unexplained shortness of breath, a new or abnormal finding on chest CT, persistent or worsening cough, management of a known diagnosis like COPD or pulmonary fibrosis, pre-operative lung clearance, abnormal pulmonary function tests, and lung nodule follow-up. Our physicians provide a clear diagnosis, an explanation of findings, and a personalized management plan at the end of each visit.

Because our physicians hold active ICU attending roles, they regularly manage the most severe respiratory cases in the hospital as well as stable outpatient conditions — giving them a broader perspective on disease progression than most outpatient practices. Request a pulmonary evaluation →
