Advanced diagnostics and treatments of respiratory disorders

Most illnesses that impact our breathing and lung function are short-lived and resolve with little to no medical intervention. But if your cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing do not improve, it’s important to have advanced pulmonary expertise nearby. The Division of Pulmonary Medicine at Maimonides delivers outstanding inpatient and outpatient services to diagnose and treat a wide range of respiratory diseases and sleep disorders.

Our goal is to improve and maintain lung health by using a collaborative team approach and individualized treatment plans focused on you.
