Pulmonary medicine in Palatka
The pulmonary physicians at HCA Florida Putnam Hospital are dedicated to improving breathing difficulties caused by respiratory issues.
Although many respiratory conditions can be treated by a primary care physician, advanced pulmonary concerns should be treated by a pulmonologist. Along with our pulmonary team, our pulmonologists offer advanced diagnostic testing and a wide range of treatments for pulmonary conditions — including pulmonary-related sleep conditions.

Treatment for pulmonary-related sleep disorders
Our pulmonary team also treats patients experiencing sleep disorders that may be related to pulmonary conditions, such as sleep apnea.

During a sleep study, doctors collect data about a patients sleep habits to determine the cause of the sleep condition.
