The doctor

Meet Dr. Arun Gangadhar.

Consultant Interventional Pulmonologist & Sleep Physician

Dr. Arun trained in respiratory and critical care medicine and practises the full breadth of pulmonology — from everyday asthma and COPD to interstitial lung disease, sleep apnoea and complex airway and pleural problems that need a procedure to answer.

Lung Care, on Cowley Brown Road in RS Puram, was built around that practice: a calm consulting space with complete lung function testing, sleep studies and interventional capability, so most patients get a diagnosis without being sent from place to place. Patients also come from Tiruppur, Pollachi, Palakkad and the Nilgiris.

You'll be asked to fast for 6 hours before the procedure. Continue routine medications with sips of water unless told otherwise. Arrange someone to drive you home, as you'll be lightly sedated.Bronchoscopy & EBUS explained →
