Dr. Shantha treats all lung disorders such as COPD, asthma, shortness of breath, lung cancer, etc. and performs comprehensive pulmonary evaluation and testing onsite, including PFTs, the 6-minute walk test, home sleep studies, etc.
He also evaluates, diagnoses, and treats sleep disorders such as snoring, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.

As someone who is committed to providing evidence-based, patient-centered care, Dr. Shantha is one of the few who has installed the most technologically advanced PFT machine in his new office, which provides accurate results in less time and is very patient-friendly.
This new device is different from the old testing device which resembles a telephone booth and can be claustrophobic.
Our device is portable and can come right next to the patient's chair which makes it wheel chair friendly even.
The results from our machine also takes half the time as the traditional testing machines.
We use this machine to do Spirometry, Lung Volumes, and Single Breath DLCO. With fully automatic measurement and short testing time, we are confident that this enhances our patient experience at our practice.
The testing is covered by most insurance companies. Appointments are available right now for face-to-face as well as telehealth for all matters relating to lung and sleep disorders. Patients are advised to call 423-654-7400
