Patrick Callahan, MD

I believe in doing what is right for each patient. Each patient is the Captain of their own ship. I'm there as an advisor. I explain their options, but ultimately it is the patient's choice which way they want to go. I try to help them make that decision as best I can.

I specialize in pulmonary medicine and treat diseases of the lungs and airways including pneumonia, pleurisy, asthma, occupational and environmental diseases, bronchitis, sleep disorders, emphysema and other complex disorders of the lungs. I believe in communicating with my patients to best help them reach their health goals.

I try to listen carefully to patients to hear their impression of what is bringing them into my office. I like to get a sense of what activities are limited by the condition they are experiencing and what goals they have for treatment. I enjoy seeing pediatric patients. I spent my Hand Surgery Fellowship training with a pediatric hand surgeon who had a very interesting and challenging practice and so I am very comfortable treating many congenital hand conditions or traumatic injuries in children.
