As a pulmonologist, Dr. Serrano works with patients that have serious or chronic breathing problems. Primary care doctors can handle mild or short-term conditions, such as a cold or respiratory infection, however, you'll need to see a pulmonologist to diagnose, treat, and manage more complex illnesses that mainly affect the lungs. If you're experiencing symptoms of a respiratory disease, an accurate diagnosis is the first step. A pulmonologist uses tools and procedures such as blood work, bronchoscopies, chest x-rays, CT scans, spirometry, and sleep studies to diagnose chronic lung disease. Lung diseases can be debilitating and require comprehensive, long-term care. Pulmonologists are well-versed in working with you and your family to help you live a healthier everyday life. Dr. Serrano has authored "Lung and Bronchus Cancer in Puerto Rico: Changes in Incidence and Mortality Rates by Histology and Sex during 1987-2003" and "Adaptation of the Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale and the Oxygen Cost Diagram for its use in Puerto Rico."
