Pulmonary Function Testing

Pulmonary Function Testing

Pulmonary function testing helps assess how well the lungs move air and exchange oxygen. It's commonly used to evaluate breathing symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, or a persistent cough, and to support ongoing care for conditions like asthma and COPD. At Quentin Medical Pc in Brooklyn, NY, we offer in-office breathing assessments as part of our approach to primary care.

What We Offer On-Site

• Spirometry — a simple breathing test that measures lung function, used to help evaluate and manage asthma and COPD.
• Pulse Oximetry — a fingertip sensor that checks blood oxygen levels in seconds, often used alongside breathing assessments.

How It Fits Into Your Care

Results from breathing tests are added to your record through our Electronic Health Records system, so your care team can review changes over time and coordinate with any related treatment plans. You can also review visit summaries and test results afterward through our Patient Portal.

When to Consider Testing

• New or worsening breathing symptoms — such as shortness of breath, wheezing, or chronic cough.
• Ongoing asthma or COPD management — to help track lung function as part of a broader chronic disease management plan.
• Follow-up after a physical or wellness visit — when breathing concerns come up during routine preventive care.
