Ramasubramanian Baalachandran, MBBS

As a pulmonologist and intensivist, I care for patients with a range of respiratory conditions, including asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, lung nodules and lung masses. I’m committed to providing thorough, thoughtful care that addresses every important aspect of a patient’s health.Partnering with patients as they navigate health challenges and helping them improve their quality of life are the most rewarding parts of my work. I value the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, and I often find that I learn just as much from my patients as they do from me. I take a holistic approach to care, discussing lifestyle changes that can positively impact lung health and overall well-being. Shared decision-making is central to my practice — I believe that listening to patients and incorporating their perspectives leads to better outcomes.Even small victories in the clinic can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. I strive to make those moments possible by …being attentive, compassionate and fully engaged with every patient.
