Doctor discovery · Pulmonology
Chennai has long-established respiratory medicine, interventional bronchoscopy, thoracic oncology, pleural and selected lung-transplant services. This page does not infer that every centre performs bronchoscopy or has every approach listed. Name the campus with a dedicated bronchoscopy suite, continuous respiratory monitoring, pathology and microbiology handling, anaesthesia support and access to rigid bronchoscopy or ICU if escalation is needed. Doctor and hospital cards in Chennai resolve only from exact live CMS relationships for Bronchoscopy. If that exact relationship is absent, cards must remain empty; a generic Pulmonology or hospital label cannot verify current acceptance. This is a catalog gap, not an availability or quality claim.
Quick answer
Pulmonology assesses and treats diseases of the lungs, airways and pleura. GAF’s current India catalog includes diagnostic sampling, therapeutic bronchoscopy, pleural procedures and lung transplantation; the appropriate service depends on imaging, breathing reserve, oxygen needs, bleeding risk, the clinical question and whether a result will change treatment.
Pulmonology, also called respiratory medicine, covers airway, lung-parenchymal and pleural disease. Evaluation may use symptoms, examination, chest imaging, pulmonary-function testing, microbiology and tissue sampling. Interventional pulmonology adds flexible or rigid bronchoscopy, ultrasound-guided sampling, airway treatment and selected pleural procedures.

A doctor appears only when the GAF catalog records the matching Pulmonology specialty, location and, where selected, exact procedure relationship. Results are not ranked by outcomes or medical superiority.
This directory uses professional catalog information and exact specialty and procedure relationships. It does not constitute a medical ranking, guarantee availability or replace a case review by a qualified pulmonologist.
Chennai International Airport: Some hospital corridors have direct airport access, but imaging, bronchoscopy, pathology and transplant follow-up may occur in different buildings. Confirm the complete pathway. Use air-conditioned, flexible lodging near the respiratory campus with reliable electricity for any oxygen concentrator or PAP device. Heat and humidity increase fluid loss and fatigue; patients using oxygen should follow their prescribed flow and equipment-safety plan rather than changing it themselves.

Treatments
Each respiratory service keeps its canonical cost guide. Doctor lists only include exact procedure mappings.
Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive airway procedure in which a thin flexible scope with a light, camera and working channel passes through the nose or mouth, larynx and trachea into the bronchi. It can inspect the airway, wash cells and microbes from a lung segment, brush or biopsy a lesion and, in therapeutic cases, remove secretions or treat an obstruction.

EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) combines flexible bronchoscopy with a linear ultrasound transducer at the scope tip so structures beyond the airway wall can be seen and sampled. EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) commonly targets defined mediastinal and hilar lymph-node stations or a central peribronchial mass.

Airway Stenting
Airway stenting places a tubular prosthesis in the trachea or a main bronchus to hold open a clinically important central-airway narrowing, seal selected airway defects or support a collapsing airway. Silicone and self-expanding covered metal stents behave differently and usually require bronchoscopic surveillance and a removal or revision strategy.

Medical Thoracoscopy
Medical thoracoscopy is a single- or limited-port examination of the pleural space performed by a trained pulmonologist, usually under local anaesthetic with conscious sedation in a procedure room. It permits drainage, direct inspection, multiple parietal pleural biopsies and, when appropriate, talc poudrage pleurodesis followed by chest-drain management.

TBNA (Transbronchial Needle Aspiration)
Conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) passes a sheathed needle through the bronchial wall into a lymph node or peribronchial lesion selected from CT and airway landmarks, without real-time ultrasound. Aspirated cells and fragments are prepared for cytology, cell block and selected microbiology.

Lung Transplantation
Lung transplantation replaces one or both irreversibly diseased lungs with deceased-donor organs; heart-lung transplantation is reserved for selected combined cardiopulmonary disease. It is a regulated allocation treatment with major surgery, ICU care and lifelong immunosuppression—not an organ that an international patient can buy or schedule.

Airway lesions and obstruction
Visible narrowing, tumour, retained secretions or unexplained airway change may require diagnostic or therapeutic bronchoscopy after CT and clinical review.
Lung nodules and thoracic lymph nodes
Target location and the tissue needed for pathology or molecular testing guide EBUS, TBNA, endobronchial or transbronchial sampling.
Diffuse and interstitial lung disease
Selected cases may need transbronchial forceps or cryobiopsy only after multidisciplinary review of HRCT pattern, physiology and procedural risk.
Pleural effusion and pleural disease
Fluid, pleural thickening or suspected infection or malignancy may require drainage, biopsy or thoracoscopic inspection according to imaging and stability.
Airway foreign body
Suspected aspiration can require urgent flexible or rigid bronchoscopy with anaesthesia and airway-rescue planning.
Advanced lung disease
Lung transplantation is a separate multidisciplinary programme requiring disease, functional, psychosocial, donor and transplant-risk assessment.

The quick answer on this page is summarised from GAF Healthcare’s Pulmonology treatment guide. That guide remains the canonical article for clinical context, treatment options and planning.
A pulmonologist evaluates the relevant diagnosis, explains suitable respiratory services, coordinates treatment-specific assessment and follow-up, and discusses alternatives and material risks. The specialty guide provides clinical context without ranking individual doctors.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
