Kay Roemmich's Company Details

We are specialists in pulmonary diseases. Pulmonary specialists are internists who have been trained in internal medicine and subsequently have received additional training in the field of diseases of the respiratory system. Our primary areas of concern are diseases of the lungs and bronchial tubes, but often we must evaluate the heart and upper respiratory tract, including the nose and mouth, as well as chest and body functions. We often work with other physicians in providing care for patients with severe medical problems in the hospital. Historically, pulmonary physicians treated infectious diseases (i.e., tuberculosis), but chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, bronchitis, and lung cancer have become more common. Our practice of pulmonary diseases also includes problems of blood circulation through the lung (i.e., blood clots), immunologic diseases (i.e., asthma), chest trauma, respiratory failure, sleep apnea, and occupational and environmental diseases of the lung.
