We know that quality lung care requires not just expert diagnosis and management of complex conditions, but also good communication with the referring physicians. The Temple Lung Center is committed to keeping you abreast of your patient's care. We will contact referring physicians within 48 hours of any significant event in a patient's care. With our system, a fax or letter summarizing notices of admissions, discharge, office visits, or other milestones will automatically be sent to the referring physician. Our approach is one of cooperative effort with you, providing timely, ongoing communication throughout therapy, until the patient is returned to your care.
