Respiratory health is one of the most important factors in a person’s life. At Wyckoff Heights Medical Center’s Department of Pulmonary, Critical, and Sleep Disorder Medicine, we want to ensure that our community members receive the best pulmonary care they can for their respiratory and sleep disorders. Whether you’re in need of pulmonary hypertension treatment or help with sleep apnea, we want to help.
With pulmonary departments in three different locations throughout Brooklyn and Queens, Wyckoff is fully staffed with experienced, well-educated, and friendly medical professionals prepared to help you. A variety of diagnostic tests are offered, including advanced types of bronchoscopies, plus high-flow oxygen therapy for those seeking non-invasive treatments
as well as an advanced array of surgical options for treatment. With state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technological capabilities, we can perform biopsies, CAT scans and MRIs, including LDCT scans of the lungs to detect cancer.
One of the largest issues facing people in this community is asthma. Even mild asthma can prove to be a debilitating issue for young and old people alike. With our advanced facilities, Wyckoff can assist you and your family with asthmatic issues to help prevent serious problems, while being located close by in the neighborhood.
Being so conveniently located in the area also becomes extremely helpful for the ever-serious problem of pneumonia. Our pulmonary specialists have decades of experience treating patients of all ages with pneumonia.
Our physicians are also well-versed in the world of sleep disorders. Should you suspect a. respiratory-related sleep disorder such as sleep apnea, we can test for it, diagnose it, and quickly get you started on the best treatment options for you.
Wyckoff’s pulmonary and respiratory sleep doctors can help with other serious and traumatic conditions, such as respiratory failure. We also have the physicians and facilities to help patients with lung cancer and tumors.
Perhaps the most common pulmonary condition seen at Wyckoff is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, better known as COPD. COPD worsens tremendously over time and negatively impacts your ability to breathe healthily. We want our community to be aware of the dangers of COPD, and as such we make it a top priority.
At Wyckoff, we do our part to promote awareness of COPD, as letting it go untreated and shrugging it off as a one-time case of bronchitis can negatively impact your health. We regularly perform COPD screenings and are among the top-ranked medical centers in the state for the work we do. With awareness, we can help prevent further cases of COPD, which can be caused by excessive smoking. And with treatment by our physicians, we can help improve quality of life for years to come.
