We're specialists in pulmonary diseases. Pulmonary specialists are internists who have been trained in internal medicine and subsequently have received additional training in the area of diseases of the respiratory system. Our primary areas of concern are diseases of the lungs and bronchial tubes, but often we must evaluate the heart and upper respiratory tract, including the nose and mouth, as well as chest and body functions.
Services
Pulmonary medicine deals with diseases of the lungs and bronchial tubes, but may also include the evaluation of the upper respiratory tract, heart and vascular system. The specialists at Texas Pulmonary & Critical Care Consultants use decades of experience and specialized training to evaluate and treat diseases such as emphysema, asthma, or complicated chest infections.
Texas Pulmonary & Critical Care Consultants now provides comprehensive testing to help make more informed decisions. We also utilize the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System to assess the source of dyspnea, including potential heart disease, in patients where the source is not clear after routine testing. All tests are performed by highly-trained Respiratory Care Practitioners or Pulmonary Function Technologists.
Ideally, you spend a third of your life in bed. The quality of your sleep affects every other aspect of your life - from your attentiveness to work, to your relationship with others, and even your overall health. Why not make the most of your sleep, so that you can greet each day rested, relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to maximize your life.
Approximately one half of our time is spent with patients in the Intensive Care Unit and their needs cannot be scheduled. This frequently leads to delays and interruptions which are beyond our control. For these circumstances, we ask your patience and understanding. When possible, we will try to notify you of anticipated delays in the office appointment schedule. You are invited to call the office prior to leaving for your appointment to be certain that your physician's schedule has not been delayed.
Our patients who are using a Philips BiLevel Positive Airway Pressure or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device for treatment of a sleep disorder should have already heard from Philips, who has issued a recall of many of their CPAP and BiLevel PAP devices and mechanical ventilators. This is due to possible degradation of sound abatement foam and exposure to chemical emissions from the degraded foam material.

ILLEGAL MALPRACTICE HERE BY NURSE AMY BIRD. FALSIFIED MEDICAL RECORDS. We took my father here for his follow-up after barely surviving COVID and had subsequent heart issues. Nurse Amy Bird was rude, unprofessional, and brushed off all of the concerns that we brought up. They did not even actually check him at all. We left the meeting feeling weird about it, and then went to the cardiologist that this office referred us to.
At the cardiologist, their demeanor changed after they read the report that Amy Bird had sent them and they became instantly combative and unhelpful. We didn't know why. We were just trying to get my dad's heart checked out. They didn't help him or even look at him either. We had a weird feeling about it so we requested the medical records.
They DID NOT want to give them to us and we struggled to get them. Once we got them, though, WOW. This place is either RACIST or EVIL or both. Amy Bird COMPLETELY put outright LIES about my father, saying he smokes and drinks daily and that his parents died from kidney failure. My father neither smokes nor drinks and his dad is STILL ALIVE. She also said that my dad is a trouble maker and said he is dangerous. He is an old man who can barely walk. He is also super kind and respectful. We could not believe our eyes and that this actually happens in real life. BEWARE.

Dr. Gleason is a wonderful, caring dr. He listens and follows up in the hospital if you are admitted as a patient. Everyone at Harris has great things to say about him. I would recommend a family member to see Dr. Gleason. His nurse Pam is absolutely the best. She takes every phone call and is right on top of things. I can't say enough about this great team.
