Pulmonology

Breathing is Fundamental
That’s why we’re here.

Watertown Regional Medical Center provides diagnostic, preventive, and treatment services for diseases that affect breathing and lung function. The pulmonary team focuses on the health of the respiratory system, using procedures such as bloodwork, bronchoscopy (a procedure that allows a doctor to look directly at the lungs using a thin, lighted tube with a camera), chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests including spirometry, and sleep studies.
