Practice Focus
Pulmonary Diseases
Pulmonary medicine is the subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and management of disorders of the respiratory system, including the lungs, upper airways, thoracic cavity, and chest wall.
Diseases commonly evaluated and treated by pulmonologists include asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), emphysema, lung cancer, interstitial and occupational lung diseases, complex lung and pleural infections including tuberculosis, pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary fibrosis.
What is Sleep?
Sleep is a complex biological process. While you are sleeping, you are unconscious, but your brain and body functions are still active. They are doing a number of important jobs that help you stay healthy and function at your best. So when you don't get enough quality sleep, it does more than just make you feel tired. It can affect your physical and mental health, thinking, and daily functioning. Lack of sleep can cause hormonal imbalances and can increase the likelihood of a stroke, heart attack, or hypertension.
Critical Care
Critical care medicine is the specialized care of patients whose conditions are life-threatening and who require comprehensive care and constant monitoring, usually in intensive care units.

Lauren- July 2022
- Dr Salcedo is a traditional doctor: he has a great attitude which shows he loves his job; he is not like a robot, but kind; and he is very knowledgeable and caring. This doctor and his office staff remind me of how things used to be a few years ago. I definitely recommend this doctor to anyone who cares for quality! Thank you Dr Salcedo!
Ahmad - February 2022
- For my first time at the office, I was pleasantly surprised. The waiting room was very accommodating, and the front office staff were helpful and to the point( they even gave us free vouchers for the parking once we asked). The doctor clearly explained why I should take a course of action that he recommended me to and explained everything in a concise, eloquent manner. He was easy-going to talk with, never missing a chance for a laugh!
Don – August 2021
- I called on a Thursday morning, and I immediately got thru to someone who was able to schedule my appointment. No long waiting on hold at all. My appointment was set for just 2 business days later, which is completely unheard of in all the best ways! I was met by happy, professional staff members who were even polite enough to tolerate my unfortunate hour long phone call that I was on hold during for the first portion of the appointment.
I initially went in for sleeping problems, but the appointment was much more than that.
We discussed stressors, diet, exercise, and my actual daily life in such a depth that I was
not expecting. Not only did this make me gain trust in Dr. Salcedo, but it put at ease
some of my thoughts going in to the appointment. I’m very pleased, and look forward to
the in lab sleep study.
Nicholas- March 2021
- Dr. Salcedo was a life saver for me. Because of his experience, he was able to detect a type of pneumonia that he had only seen in 5 patients in his 30+ years of practice. He is thorough, direct, straight to the point kind of Doctor you would want when dealing with serious issues. He and his staff are all very personable, easy going, and friendly which made my experience less stressful. Appointments were easy to make and I saw the Doctor right away. Dr. Salcedo has an X-ray machine in his office so you can find out results when you are there, which was great
