Mahesh Jaya Shetty, MD
Master of Public Health (MPH)
Fellow of the College of Chest Physicians (FCCP)
Expert In The Field Of Pulmonary / Critical Care and Sleep Medicine
After completing my Masters in Public health, I started an Internal Medicine Residency in St Louis, MO. During my training I was intrigued by COPD, Asthma and Lung Cancer due to the complexity of the disease and the inherent scope for improvement in its management. I was particularly drawn towards the dynamics of the management of patients with lung problems including COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Asthma and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
