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 physicians perform Bronchial Thermoplasty, a new treatment for moderately severe asthma. We were one of only 11 sites in the country to participate in the Clinical Trial and were the first center to perform the procedure after it was approved by the FDA. Please call 703.236.7173 for more information. Our group is actively involved in clinical research studies. 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). Our Physician Assistants are all board certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
