California Lung Associates

California Lung Associates is a private medical practice located in downtown Los Angeles, CA.  The practice focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary and respiratory diseases and conditions. Our team of board-certified pulmonary and critical care physicians are dedicated to providing the best care and treatment for the most prevalent pulmonary and respiratory conditions that are affecting patients in the downtown Los Angeles and surrounding area. The medical team at California Lung Associates includes Sucha Kim, M.D., FCCP; Bernard S. Kim, M.D., FCCP; Joshua L. Rice, M.D., FCCP; Andrew J. Fishmann, M.D., FCCP, FACP, SFHM; and Olivia Wu, MSN, NP-C. Our physicians are experts in diagnosing, treating, and managing asthma and COPD. Other diseases that we are experts at evaluating and treating are pulmonary hypertension, bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary embolism, and interstitial lung disease. These diseases although, less common, are often not properly diagnosed and frequently get missed. California Lung Associates physicians know how to screen for and evaluate them thoroughly.     
In addition to our pulmonary specialty, our physicians provide hospitalist services to renowned orthopedic and spine surgeons in the Los Angeles area. As a hospitalist, we collaborate with these surgeons to ensure that you have the best outcome for your surgery.  We are relied upon to medically manage patients throughout their surgery stay at the hospital. This encompasses performing a pre-operative consulation to make sure a patient is healthy for surgery and then providing post-operative care until a patient is discharged from the hospital. 
Our practice is also conveniently located next to Good Samaritan Hospital.  Currently, our physicians provide services at the following hospitals:  Good Samaritan Hospital and California Hospital Medical Center in downtown Los Angeles and Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica.  
We are your Downtown LA doctors to help you with your asthma and COPD!
