Mehek Perwaiz Rahim, MD

What are some of the specific conditions you treat?

I treat a broad range of pulmonary conditions, including asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, lung nodules, chronic cough, pleural disease, pulmonary infections, and respiratory failure. I also have an interest in women’s pulmonary health, including asthma during pregnancy, and provide follow-up care for patients after hospitalization for complex pulmonary and critical illnesses.

What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?

I use pulmonary function testing, chest imaging, six-minute walk testing, and point-of-care ultrasound to evaluate and manage pulmonary conditions. My procedural expertise includes bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), thoracentesis, and ultrasound-guided procedures.

What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?

I believe in providing thoughtful, individualized, and evidence-based care. I take the time to understand each patient's symptoms and concerns, explain their diagnosis and treatment options clearly, and work together with them to develop a plan that best fits their needs and goals.
