The Brooks-TLC Hospital System is pleased to welcome Mandeep Sidhu, MD, a physician specializing in pulmonology and critical care medicine, enhancing specialized respiratory (lung) care for patients throughout Chautauqua County.
Dr. Sidhu brings extensive training in pulmonary and critical care medicine, internal medicine and geriatric medicine. Her clinical focus includes diagnosing and treating complex lung conditions, managing acute and chronic respiratory illnesses and caring for critically ill patients who require advanced respiratory support.
Dr. Sidhu completed a fellowship in pulmonary disease and critical care at the University of Illinois Chicago and Jesse Brown VA Hospital. She also completed a fellowship in geriatric medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago and an internal medicine residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at the Permian Basin. She earned her Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree from Guru Gobind Singh Medical College in India.
Dr. Sidhu's hospital-based expertise includes the management of acute and chronic respiratory failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma exacerbations, sepsis and other critical illnesses. Her experience includes managing patients who require invasive mechanical ventilation or noninvasive respiratory support, as well as evaluating complex pulmonary conditions in collaboration with hospitalists, emergency medicine physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and other specialists.
In addition to inpatient care, Dr. Sidhu will help patients manage a range of pulmonary conditions through outpatient evaluation and follow-up. She is accepting new patients for pulmonary function tests (PFTs). PFTs are noninvasive tests that measure how well the lungs work, including how much air a person can breathe in and out and how efficiently the lungs transfer oxygen. PFTs help physicians diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma, COPD, emphysema and other lung diseases.
Dr. Sidhu was drawn to the Dunkirk community because of the need for specialized pulmonary and critical care services in the region. She sees the opportunity as a way to give back to the community while helping improve access to care for patients with complex respiratory conditions.
