Pulmonologist

NuvoAir Medical is a technology-enabled pulmonary care organization that powers the Dresden Family Clinic, focused on improving outcomes for patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, sleep apnea, and other complex pulmonary conditions.

Our relationship-based model combines remote patient monitoring and proactive clinical engagement to keep patients healthier and out of the hospital. Complex conditions like COPD are incredibly challenging to manage.

People who are already struggling with isolation and the burden of these conditions become increasingly frustrated and disengaged, eventually falling through the cracks and landing in the ER. This cycle perpetuates poor health outcomes and excessive medical costs.

At NuvoAir, we believe people deserve a better healthcare experience. Our team embraces the challenges that others can’t or won’t - by integrating our clinical team with technology, NuvoAir creates a highly empathetic and personalized experience for each patient.
