Lorraine M. Richards

Overview

Throughout my health care career, I have worked in a variety of specialties however pulmonary medicine stands out as the area of medicine I am most passionate about. I enjoy working with patients who have chronic medical conditions to help enhance their lives by promoting wellness and slowing the progression of their chronic diseases. Working with patients with chronic medical conditions allows me the privilege of forming long-term trusting relationships. I believe my desire to help patients live their lives to the fullest (despite having a chronic illness) drives me to continue learning, growing and providing the best evidence-based medicine to my patients.

Her clinical expertise encompasses Lung Metastases, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Lung Nodules, and Lung Cancer.
