Adult PH Appointments

To request an outpatient clinic appointment with one of our pulmonary hypertension specialists, please have your healthcare provider send a referral. See below for details:

Preparing for your visit

Please have your provider place a new patient referral. Instructions on placing referrals can be found here. The referral should be marked for the Chest Clinic: Pulmonary Hypertension department. The following medical records should also be included if they were previously performed.

Length of your visit

Please allow 1-2 hours for your consultation. However, no two patient visits are exactly the same and we will spend as much time as needed to ensure appropriate assessment and understanding of your care. In order to have the most efficient consultation, we will sometimes ask for you to do some medical testing prior to the clinical visit. Please budget additional time for these required tests.

Learn more about the diagnostic tests and procedures that may be required to diagnose pulmonary vascular disease and help ascertain its cause.
