We offer the convenience of in office lung function testing, spirometry, for patients with breathing difficulty or specific diseases.  Some indications for spirometry include:

- Asthma

- COPD/Emphysema

- Shortness of breath

- Wheezing

- Persistent cough

Spirometry is performed under various conditions with the patient breathing into a tube attached to the machine, which calculates the amount of air the lungs can hold and the rate that air can be inhaled and exhaled. The results of the test are compared with those of healthy individuals of similar height and age, and of the same sex and race.
