Pulmonology

PULMONOLOGYPulmonology is a huge part of FCCI. As board certified pulmonologists, Drs. Irram Hamdani,  Bruce Krieger, Jack Salah, and Stephen Bagnoli specialize in respiratory health of the lungs and airways. Patients who may need to see a pulmonologist include those who had childhood asthma, have smoked in the past, or are experiencing shortness of breath, chronic coughs or occupational exposure.

Housing pulmonology and cardiology under the same roof ensures patients receive expedited and comprehensive care when they need it the most. “Certain conditions require the expertise of both a pulmonologist and cardiologist,” Dr. Hamdani says, “patients are always relieved to know they do not have to shuffle to multiple doctors’ offices.”

We offer a range of diagnostic tools and services to provide patients with comprehensive care.
