Due to the inclement weather conditions, some of our offices may be closed for in person visits or operating with reduced hours on 1/20. However, we want to ensure your care continues uninterrupted—many of our locations are offering telehealth visits as an alternative. Please be aware that our Jefferson office is closed. Please contact your office for specific details and availability. Stay safe and take care! Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more updates!
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) are a group of noninvasive diagnostic tests that provide your doctor with feedback about the function of your lungs. PFTs measure how well your lungs take in and release air and how well they move oxygen from the atmosphere into your circulation. For some of the tests, you can breathe normally, while others will require forced inhalation or exhalation. Pulmonary Function Tests are performed to diagnose certain types of lung disease, find the cause of shortness of breath, assess the effect of medication, and measure progress in disease treatment.
