Dr. Kolman is an interventional pulmonologist at Capital Health, serving as Director of the new Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program.

She has experience in performing advanced upper thoracic tests and procedures that include: rigid bronchoscopy, placement of self-expanding stents/silicone stents, argon plasma coagulation/cryotherapy/cryospray/microdebrider, endobronchial valve placement, electromagnetic navigation with fiducial marker placement, radial and convex endobronchial ultrasounds, pleuroscopy with talc pleurodesis/pleural biopsies, pleurx (intrapleural catheter placement), percutaneous tracheostomies, and transthoracic biopsies with fiducial marker placement.

The physicians at Capital Health – Pulmonology Specialists diagnose and treat conditions that affect the lungs and respiratory system. Because some pulmonary conditions can extend to the cardiovascular system or other organs in the body, they work with referring physicians—from primary care providers to other specialists such as oncologists, critical care specialists and surgeons—involved in a patient’s care to accurately diagnose conditions and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Academically, Dr. Kolman received her medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica/West Indies. After completing her internship and residency in internal medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, she was fellowship trained in interventional pulmonology at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey. 

With an unwavering commitment to her specialty, the doctor is board-certified in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Prior to joining Capital Health, Dr. Kolan was at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

Having presented research in pulmonary and critical care for several symposiums and conferences, she is a member of the American Thoracic Society, the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, and the American College of Physicians.

Interventional pulmonology uses endoscopy and other tools to diagnose and treat conditions in the lungs and chest. These procedures may be offered by pulmonologists (lung specialists) who have undergone extra training.

On a more personal note, Dr. Kolan is fluent in English and Polish.
