"Dramatic improvements can be seen
in a patient's quality of life after
receiving treatment by pulmonary
medicine, particularly in a
patient with allergic inflammation. I
find it personally rewarding to see a
patient's shortness of breath or
wheezing improve with a combination of
lifestyle modifications, medications,
and procedures to diagnose and treat
numerous diseases.
To often, minor changes in lung health
go underappreciated or ignored. When
properly treated, even for the most
minor conditions, patients will report
great changes in their ability to enjoy
life."
