Pulmonology or pulmonary medicine, treats issues related to the lungs or respiratory system. Because lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are so prevalent, an additional provider is necessary. Dr. Ralph Harder of Central Maine Pulmonary Associates in Lewiston already provides pulmonology at Franklin Memorial two days per month.
Dr. Duval’s professional interests include pulmonary rehabilitation, stent placement, transtracheal oxygen, asthma in pregnancy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and sleep disorders.
