Comprehensive Pulmonary Care
Our Services
Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi, a fellowship-trained, board-certified interventional pulmonologist, offers expert care in diagnosing and treating a wide range of pulmonary conditions. With over a decade of experience and a commitment to minimally invasive techniques, he provides advanced solutions for lung diseases, airway disorders, and respiratory conditions. Below are some of the key services he offers:
Advanced Diagnostic Bronchoscopy
Using state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi performs bronchoscopy procedures to diagnose lung diseases, including lung cancer, infections, and Interstitial Lung Diseases. These procedures provide a detailed assessment of the airways and lung parenchyma, allowing for early and precise detection.
Lung Cancer Screening & Early Detection
Lung cancer is most treatable when detected early. Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi specializes in advanced screening techniques, including low-dose CT scans and robotic bronchoscopy and EBUS to diagnose and stage the lung cancer and ensure timely intervention.
Airway Obstruction & Stenting
For patients experiencing difficulty breathing due to airway narrowing or tumors, airway stenting and balloon bronchoplasty provide relief and restore normal airflow. These procedures help manage both benign and malignant airway conditions effectively.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Management
Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi offers personalized treatment plans for patients with COPD, focusing on improving lung function and quality of life. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) is one of the innovative approaches available for eligible patients.
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) & Biopsy
EBUS is a minimally invasive procedure used for diagnosing lung cancer, infections, and other pulmonary diseases. This technique allows for precise sampling of lymph nodes and lung tissue, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Tracheostomy & Airway Reconstruction
For patients requiring long-term airway support, tracheostomy management and tracheal dilatation procedures ensure optimal breathing function and comfort.
Pulmonary Function Testing & Spirometry
Comprehensive pulmonary function tests are essential for evaluating lung health and diagnosing a variety of respiratory conditions. These tests help assess how well the lungs are functioning, guiding treatment strategies for patients with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases.
Pleural Disease Treatment
Pleural diseases, including pleural effusion, malignant pleural effusions, and pneumothorax, require advanced medical care for proper management and relief of symptoms. Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi specializes in diagnosing and treating these conditions using a range of effective and minimally invasive procedures.
Minimally Invasive Tumor Treatments
Using techniques such as cryotherapy, argon plasma coagulation, and laser therapy, Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi treats lung tumors and airway obstructions with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
Interstitial Lung Disease & Pulmonary Fibrosis Care
Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Diseases is an important step in the management of ILD. Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi performs cryo-biopsy which is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose Interstitial Lung Disease.
Chronic Cough and Increasing Shortness of Breath
Chronic coughing and increasing shortness of breath may be signs of an underlying lung or airway condition. These symptoms should not be ignored, as they can indicate issues such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD, or even early-stage lung disease. Timely evaluation by a specialist like Dr. Ramyar Mahdavi can lead to an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment to improve breathing and overall quality of life.
