Breathing Treatments

Breathe a Little Easier

Support When Your Breathing Feels Restricted

Wheezing, chest tightness, or difficulty moving air comfortably can be unsettling. Respiratory symptoms can have many possible causes, making proper medical evaluation an important first step before deciding how they should be treated.

Concierge Wellness Center offers breathing treatments for appropriate respiratory concerns that can be safely managed in the office. Rather than treating the symptom without context, your physician can listen to your lungs, review what you are experiencing, and determine whether a breathing treatment may help.

Respiratory Care When You Need It

Help Open the Airways and Ease Breathing

Why We Offer It

Respiratory symptoms can sometimes develop quickly or worsen during an illness or flare-up of an existing condition. Having access to treatment within your primary care practice can make it easier to have those symptoms evaluated by a physician who is familiar with your broader medical history.

When clinically appropriate, a breathing treatment can deliver medication directly into the airways to help address certain episodes of airway narrowing, wheezing, or breathing difficulty.

Who Is It For

Breathing treatments may be considered for patients experiencing certain respiratory symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, or difficulty breathing associated with airway constriction.

The cause and severity of your symptoms matter. An office-based treatment is not appropriate for every breathing problem, so your physician will first determine whether your condition can be safely treated at CWC or requires a different level of medical attention.

How Does It Work

A breathing treatment commonly uses a nebulizer to convert liquid medication into a fine mist. You breathe the mist through a mouthpiece or mask, allowing the medication to travel directly into the respiratory tract.

The medication used depends on your symptoms and medical needs. Your physician can determine whether nebulized treatment is appropriate and assess how you respond before deciding whether additional care is necessary.

What to Expect from Your Care

You will typically sit comfortably while breathing normally through the nebulizer mouthpiece or mask. Treatment continues until the prescribed medication has been delivered.

Your physician may reassess your breathing afterward and provide instructions based on your response. Some medications used in breathing treatments can cause temporary effects such as shakiness or a faster heartbeat, and your medical team can explain what to expect from the medication selected for you.

Focused Respiratory Support

Care Based on How You Are Breathing Today

Breathing symptoms deserve appropriate medical attention rather than guesswork. In-office evaluation helps determine what may be happening and whether respiratory treatment is suitable for the situation.

Direct Medication Delivery

Nebulized medication is inhaled into the respiratory tract, providing a direct route for medications intended to act on the airways.

Support for Airway Symptoms

Depending on the underlying concern, treatment may help address symptoms associated with narrowed or irritated airways.

Response Evaluation

Your breathing can be reassessed after treatment to help determine whether symptoms have improved or additional medical care is needed.

Care Within Your Medical History

Existing diagnoses, medications, previous respiratory concerns, and current symptoms can all be considered when deciding how to approach treatment.

Dr Choi is one of the best doctors we have seen in my life. Dr. Choi hasn't just been just our doctor; they've become a trusted advisor and advocate for our family's health journey.

Always a great experience! My wife and I have been thrilled with the entire team at Concierge Wellness. Dr Choi's support team is super efficient, friendly and responsive. They have even called our pharmacy to speed things up. Great service! And Dr Choi has been amazing. As I've started exploring longevity, Dr Choi has gone way beyond offering the basics of medical care -- he discusses issues in depth and has really helped learn about the details.

I followed Dr. Catherine Nguyen-Ward to her concierge practice without hesitation, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Not only is she exceptionally well-versed and competent across many areas of medicine, but, most importantly, she listens. I mean, she really listens. She understands what’s wrong almost immediately and takes decisive action to get you well, fast. No guesswork. No unnecessary, endless visits or lab work that lead nowhere. She is incredibly smart and truly a rare kind of physician in this day and age. In a healthcare landscape that often lacks compassion and is filled with rushed, impersonal, and ineffective care, she stands out as exceptional. In this town, she is simply unmatched. Finding her a few years ago, was a game-changer.

Both experiences (last Wednesday,11/19/2025’s being my initial meeting) with Dr Ward could not have been more satisfactory. The circumstance was an emergency situation that could have gone quite differently. Dr Ward and all the office crew came through swiftly, professionally, and skillfully-everything I’ve come to expect from Dr Choi and his team. I cannot speak more highly of the care they afforded me. I think they earned TEN stars out of five!

I have lived in Las Vegas since 1980. I was lucky enough to find a good doctor early on, and stayed with him for about 5 years, until he retired. After that, it was hit and miss for a number of years. Luckily, I was young and healthy, so an annual visit to a doctor was all I needed. As Vegas grew, finding a good doctor became more difficult. Too many people, not enough doctors to go around. I remember sitting in one doctor's crowded waiting room for more than an hour past my appointment time. And when I asked for the flu shot, the main reason I was there, she said she did not have any. A member of her staff had forgotten to put them in the fridge, and all had to be tossed out. Luckily a few years ago, my neighbors told me about Dr. Choi. I was unfamiliar with the concept of concierge medicine, but it makes so much sense. There is no crowded waiting room full of sick people, and my time with the doctor is not rushed. He sees me on a regular basis throughout the year. Two years ago, I developed a serious condition related to long term use of Fosomax. Although it was a dental issue, Dr. Choi is the one I immediately turned to for help. He prescribed a treatment that has stabilized my condition to this day. We are so lucky to have Dr. Choi in Las Vegas.

Any Questions?

Can breathing treatments be repeated if my symptoms return?

Whether another treatment is appropriate depends on why your symptoms returned, their severity, and your overall medical condition. Recurring breathing problems may require additional evaluation rather than repeated treatment without investigating the cause.

Can breathing treatments replace my regular respiratory medications?

Not necessarily. An in-office breathing treatment does not automatically replace inhalers or other medications prescribed for an ongoing respiratory condition. Your physician can advise you on how treatment fits into your existing medication plan.

How long do breathing treatments take?

The length of treatment can vary according to the nebulizer and medication being administered. Your medical team can explain the expected treatment time when your specific therapy is prescribed.

What medication is used during breathing treatments?

The medication depends on the respiratory problem being addressed and your individual medical history. Nebulized bronchodilator medications are one option that may be used to help open narrowed airways when clinically appropriate.

What symptoms may lead a physician to recommend breathing treatments?

Breathing treatments may be considered for certain episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, or difficulty moving air through the airways. Because these symptoms can have different causes, a physician should evaluate what you are experiencing before recommending treatment.

When are breathing symptoms too serious for an office breathing treatment?

Severe or rapidly worsening shortness of breath, blue or gray lips or skin, confusion, fainting, severe chest pain, or significant difficulty speaking because of breathlessness can require emergency medical attention. Breathing treatments at CWC are intended for concerns that your physician determines can be safely managed in an office setting.
