A pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes in the respiratory system. If your complaint involves the lungs or any part of the respiratory system, from the windpipe to the lungs, the doctor you want to address the problem is a pulmonologist.
Pulmonology is a field of medical study within internal medicine. These doctors go through the same training as an internist. They get their degree, complete a residency in internal medicine, then remain a fellow for several years, mainly focusing on pulmonology and often including critical care and sleep medicine. After that, they have to take and pass the specialty exams and only then can they become a Board Certified pulmonologist.
While the respiratory system is a specialty in itself, pulmonologists can specialize further. Some of these doctors focus on specific diseases such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis and COPD, while others treat unique demographics such as pediatric patients or geriatric patients.
Because many lung and heart conditions show similar symptoms, pulmonologists often work with cardiologists to diagnose patients. You will often see them in hospital settings as well. Patients who need life support or manual ventilation to breathe will have a pulmonologist oversee this element of their care.
