Dr. Sridhar R — Interventional Pulmonologist in Chennai

Dr. Sridhar R is an Interventional Pulmonologist at MGM Healthcare in Chennai, with more than 10 years of experience. His profile records pulmonology together with lung cancer diagnosis and staging.

His list is interventional and medical. The interventional work is bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, transbronchial needle aspiration and airway stenting, which are also the procedures used to diagnose and stage lung cancer. The medical work covers severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, complex pulmonary infection and post-tuberculosis lung disease, and the sleep work obstructive sleep apnea, polysomnography and CPAP titration.

He read MBBS at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College in Puducherry and took his fellowship in interventional pulmonology at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai.

Much of his record is academic rather than clinical. He is a faculty member on DNB and fellowship programmes, so he teaches both general respiratory trainees and those specialising further. He is associate editor of the Journal of Association of Pulmonary Technologists and a reviewer for the European Respiratory Society, which places him on both sides of the publication process, and he has published over 20 articles in indexed journals.

He is also a national speaker and an organiser of pulmonology conferences, and an active leader and mentor in national medical workshops. Teaching, editing, reviewing and organising, taken together with an interventional list, describe a pulmonologist whose work reaches other clinicians as well as patients.

He practises at MGM Healthcare in Chennai, having trained at Apollo Hospitals in the same city.
