I have reviewed this medical practice several times and I have nothing to change. I just like being treated by Dr. J Ros. He has great ‘bedside’ manner with office visits. He knows how to treat any problem I have brought to him. He never hesitates to refer me to a specialist if he feels I would benefit more. He is very reassuring and I leave there feeling someone does care!

I can't say enough about this practice other than they are one of the most professional, knowledgeable and caring medical offices that I have ever dealt with.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Jacksonville, our doctors administer both a pulmonary function test and a chest x-ray to check for signs of lung health or distress.
A pulmonary function test measures how well your lungs function based on an evaluation of your breathing. You sit with a nose clip and breathe through a mouthpiece. That mouthpiece is attached to a spirometer that measures the volume of the air you breathe in and out and how fast you do it. The doctor then instructs you to breathe in deeply and then blow out the air as hard as you can. You will be monitored for any side effects like dizziness.
If you’re experiencing symptoms that may indicate poor lung health, like trouble breathing, even after minor exertion of effort, contact us via phone or email for a consultation.
Monthly monitoring might be necessary for chronic conditions such as COPD. If required, we can schedule follow-up meetings to accommodate your schedule. For those with relatively healthy lungs, Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine PA suggests scheduling an annual exam.
The timeline for addressing uncomfortable symptoms varies based on the patient and the severity of their symptoms. When caring for a patient with poor lung health, we may focus on chest pain management and strategies to ease symptoms like coughing and being short of breath. The time it takes for patients to see improvements in their lung symptoms will differ.
When you come to see our pulmonologist in Jacksonville, we’ll talk about your symptoms and explore strategies for enhancing your well-being. Although we take most insurance, we will need to conduct a comprehensive evaluation. Once we do that, we can have a conversation about the most appropriate approaches to your treatment before we can establish the cost.
