Physicians As pulmonologists, our physicians possess specialized knowledge and skill in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary (lung) conditions and diseases. Pulmonology is classified as an internal medicine subspecialty. Because pulmonologists encounter a variety of clinical problems, they must have knowledge of internal medicine and other specialties in order to obtain certification. Pulmonologists may serve as consultants to other physicians as well as provide long-term care to patients with chronic pulmonary conditions. Our pulmonary physicians also serve as critical care consultants. Our group is actively involved in clinical research studies. Currently, we are conducting a study on the safety and effectiveness of the Alair System for the treatment of Asthma. This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial (Asthma Intervention Research (AIR2) Trial). This study is one of only 11 sites in the country. As a service to the community, all of our physicians volunteer at the Arlington Free Clinic. Our physicians are certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
