ABOUT US
At CHESTMED, our goal is to provide comprehensive care in Respiratory Medicine (lung health) ranging from common conditions like asthma requiring treatment with inhalers and medications, to uncommon conditions like blocked windpipes requiring advanced techniques such as bronchoscopic laser resection or stenting of the airways.We also carry special concern for lung cancer being the number one killer among all cancers and consistently strive for its early detection to prevent delay in diagnosis. Our guiding principles are competence, compassion, cost effectiveness and the use of minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat lung diseases.
