In addition, the Pulmonary Function Laboratory performs routine spirometry through cardiopulmonary stress exercise testing. The Pulmonary Lab is located in the University Physician's Center, Suite 2018. It has a total of three, "state of the art" spirometers, two of which have body plethysmographs.
Our philosophy is simple…ensure excellent world class care for our patients and a great place to work for our staff. Come in, look around, and get to know us!
