A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a non-invasive procedure measuring how well your lungs work. During the test, you'll be asked to breathe into a spirometer, which measures the amount and speed of air you can inhale and exhale. You'll sit upright before the machine and wear nose clips to ensure all air passes through your mouth. You will be guided through various breathing exercises, such as taking deep breaths, exhaling forcefully, or breathing at different rates. These tests may be repeated several times to ensure accuracy.

PFTs can help diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other lung disorders. The entire process is painless and typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. Your healthcare provider will use the results to assess your lung function, guide treatment decisions, or monitor the progression of existing lung conditions.

This practice has treated me and my husband for about 11 years. Seen me through some very traumatic medical conditions and been the most nurturing professional and caring primary Doctor I’ve had in my lifetime. I consider Dr Zafar an above and beyond kind of person and practitioner. And I absolutely adore her front desk folks!! The absolute best. You will never feel unheard or cared for here.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Zafar for almost 10 years now. She has been there for me through so much. Kind and Compassionate doesn’t begin to cover it. And her team is really kind and caring too. Dr. Zafar does excellent with patient education and answers any and all questions, very easy to talk to. She is your biggest cheerleader when it comes to your health!
