Occupational Medicine

The Occupational Respiratory Medicine Clinic serves patients who have respiratory symptoms or diseases that may or may not be related to workplace exposures.  Commonly encountered problems in this field include work-related asthma and work-exacerbated asthma, chemical exposures occurring in the workplace, and evaluation of patients who have been exposed to asbestos.   The evaluation of work-related breathing problems is complicated and we have the skills and knowledge to help our patients navigate through the sometimes difficult path that these problems may present.
