An emphysema evaluation helps determine the severity of lung disease, identify potential triggers, and guide treatment decisions.

What We Review During Your Emphysema Consultation:
- Breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, and exercise tolerance
- Oxygen saturation and pulmonary function assessment
- Smoking history, environmental exposures, and risk factors
- Lab tests, imaging, or spirometry if indicated
- Medication review, inhaler technique, and therapy guidance
