About Us

Pediatric Pulmonary Associates of North Texas is devoted to the care of infants, children, adolescents and young adults with chronic respiratory system problems. Through our interactions with you and your child, we hope to provide you with a knowledge base and assessment tools to enable your child and family to live a normal life style as much as possible. Our focus is on education and customizing an action plan for both preventative care and for acute illness. The result is to minimize the impact of your child’s pulmonary illness. At the conclusion of each office visit, an action plan is created and reviewed with you and your child. This includes daily (preventative or controller) medications, if needed (rescue) medications, and special medications/instructions. Peak flow meter settings are also included if appropriate for your child.

We strive to work closely with your child’s primary care physician and any other physicians involved in the care of your child. A letter summarizing your child’s pulmonary problem and your action plan is sent to your child’s other physicians following each office visit.

Our Philosophy

Our approach to your child’s health care includes:

• Diagnosing the disease based on a comprehensive history, physical examination and laboratory studies where indicated.
• Assessing the impact of the disease on the patient, family and school (where applicable).
• Developing an individualized treatment plan to address the specific needs of the patient and family.
• Providing education to the patient and family regarding the disease process, treatment and prevention.
• Minimizing the impact of the disease on normal childhood activities, growth and development and family activities.
• Maximizing the independence of the patient and family in caring for the disease.
• Being available for acute problems, re-assessments and preventative care.

It is important to remember that the nature of asthma and other chronic lung problems are such that significant and serious lung abnormalities may exist at a time when the patient may have no or only few symptoms and may even have a normal examination. Periodic re-examinations even when the patient is not having problems are essential for ensuring continued good health and well-being.

Every effort is made to explain the patient’s condition and treatment plan to you. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS IF SOMETHING IS NOT CLEAR TO YOU. Our staff was chosen and trained with much thought and care, so that we may provide to you and your child quality medical services in a pleasant, efficient and friendly atmosphere. If you have suggestions regarding our services, please let us know.

Please bring written questions or concerns with you to your appointment. An effort is made to fully answer your questions. You have the right to be fully informed of our findings.
