My clinical focus is Interventional Pulmonology, with a particular emphasis in complex airway and pleural diseases. I care for patients who require early detection, treatment and management of complications of lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. I evaluate and treat patients with benign diseases that might benefit of therapeutic bronchoscopy for severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and post lung transplant. Additionally, I evaluate, diagnose and treat patients with pleural effusions.
