ABOUT US

Types of Common Conditions we treat:

Allergies and asthma:

Allergic reactions happen when the immune system reacts to something that’s usually harmless. Asthma is a chronic breathing problem, which causes airway inflammation.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema:

COPD is a progressive lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe. The two main forms of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema, both of which cause damage to the airways and interfere with the ability to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Lung nodule management:

refers to masses of tissue in the lung, most lung nodules are noncancerous (benign) caused by past infection, but can also be cancerous. They appear as round, white shadows on a chest X-ray or computerized tomography (CT) scan.

Respiratory infections and disorders:

including pneumonia, atypical pneumonia, bronchitis and fungal infections.

Tuberculosis (and other mycobacterial infections)

Bronchiectasis:

is a disease in which there is permanent enlargement of parts of the airways of the lung. Symptoms typically include a chronic cough with mucus production.

Pulmonary hypertension:

abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, causing the right side of the heart to work harder. Overtime the right side of the heart becomes enlarged and weakens.

Cystic fibrosis:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder that causes damage to the lungs and digestive system. It affects the cells that produce bodily secretions like mucus, sweat and digestive juices, causing them to clog passageways in the body.

Interstitial lung disease (such as pulmonary fibrosis):

The term “interstitial lung disease” (ILD) actually refers to over 200 different diseases that affect the lung tissue in different ways. Some patients with ILD develop scarring or fibrosis of the lung tissue which affects breathing and oxygenation. This is a chronic, irreversible disease state that requires close monitoring by a specialty trained physician. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of the more common forms of ILD.

Sarcoidosis:

is the growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) in different parts of your body — most commonly the lungs, lymph nodes, eyes and skin.

Lung cancer diagnosis and staging:

also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. Staging describes the progression of the tumor from early to late stage.

Dyspnea (shortness of breath):

is often described as an intense tightening in the chest, air hunger or a feeling of suffocation.

Respiratory failure:

happens when the capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, surrounding your air sacs can’t properly exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The condition can be acute or chronic and needs immediate attention.

Pleural disease:

The pleura are a membrane that lines chest cavity and also covers the lungs. There is a small space between the layers of the pleura, which usually contains a small amount of fluid. This fluid acts as a lubricant between the two pleura layers. Pleurisy is also called pleuritic pain and refers to inflammation of the pleura. It can make breathing very difficult and very painful. It is commonly caused by viral infections, lung infections and chest injuries, although it can be a sign of cancer or pulmonary embolism.

Our treatments are tailor-made to care for the specific needs of each individual patient. At AIMIS Clinics, we are committed to offering a more effective, patient-centered, whole-person multidisciplinary care.
