Welcome to pulmonology at MedStar Washington Hospital Center

MedStar Health provides both inpatient and outpatient services to diagnose and treat breathing diseases and disorders. In our pulmonary function laboratories, sophisticated diagnostic testing helps doctors evaluate lung function.

Our pulmonary medicine physicians provide state-of-the-art clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for disorders of the respiratory system.

Our transdisciplinary team of pulmonologists, surgeons, nurses, oncologists, respiratory therapists, and other specialists offer a unique blend of services not available at any other institution or practice in the region.

A multidisciplinary approach

Outpatient diagnostic testing and care management are also provided to patients through the Ambulatory Care Center—and in our physicians’ private offices.

The team routinely works in collaboration with many other specialists on the medical staff in an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to patient care.

Advanced interventional pulmonology

Interventional pulmonology is a relatively new field that uses endoscopy and other tools to diagnose and treat conditions in the lungs and chest.

Severe asthma and COPD clinic

Most people with asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Some people have long-term shortness of breath with episodes of increased shortness of breath. Either wheezing or a cough may be the main symptom. Attacks can last for minutes to days and can become dangerous if the airflow is severely blocked.  At MedStar Washington Hospital Center, our team is here to help you.  Our team consists of physicians, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists who specialize in severe asthma treatment.

We offer group classes with asthma/COPD education, inhaler training, and customized asthma action plans. We will also provide follow-up for monitoring and access to advanced therapies.

To schedule, please call 202-877-0333 (option #2).
