- Methacholine challenge testing, also known as bronchoprovocation testing
- Six-minute walk test

All pulmonary function test results are interpreted by our board-certified pulmonologist, and we are always available to consult with the referring provider on any of the test results we provide.

Pulmonary Diseases in Pregnancy
As part of the Women's Medicine Collaborative's multidisciplinary obstetric medicine service (MOMS), we specialize in pulmonary diseases and sleep apnea in pregnancy.
In collaboration with the patient’s referring obstetrician, obstetric internist, midwife, gynecologist, family practitioner, or other health care provider, we develop a coordinated plan of care for women with acute and chronic pulmonary disorders during preconception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
