Summary

Dr. Mallen was drawn to the field of Pulmonology for several reasons — the complexity of lung disease, the attention to detail required by the field, and the procedural aspects of being a pulmonary specialist. He enjoys working with patients who have high acuity conditions in the ICU. Interacting with patients and their families, as well as the opportunity to be a positive presence during difficult situations is what he loves most about practicing medicine.
