Common questions
Understand your next step.
How do you help patients stop smoking?
If you smoke, quitting is a first priority in COPD care. We offer practical counseling, discuss prescription treatments and nicotine replacement when appropriate, and connect patients with Tobacco Free Florida’s Quit Your Way services. Call 1-877-822-6669 for the Florida Quitline. Support is available even if you have tried before, and COPD treatment continues while you work toward quitting.
How do you choose COPD inhalers?
We use current GOLD guidance to tailor inhalers to your symptoms, history of flare-ups, and individual needs. We review inhaler technique, device fit, side effects, and cost. Long-acting bronchodilators are important options; inhaled corticosteroids are added for selected patients based on factors such as exacerbations, blood eosinophils, and asthma features. Treatment is reassessed over time.
Why are vaccines part of COPD care?
Respiratory infections can trigger serious COPD flare-ups. We review recommended vaccinations, including influenza, pneumococcal, RSV when eligible, Tdap, and shingles, according to your age, health, and vaccination history. Discuss the benefits, risks, and any concerns with us. See our adult immunization guide for selected recommendations.
Do you provide pulmonary specialty care?
Soriano Med provides internal medicine and primary care support. Pulmonology referral and coordination may be appropriate for your needs.
Is in-office breathing testing available?
Yes. Soriano Med offers in-house pulmonary function testing (PFTs) to help assess breathing and airflow. Your clinician will explain the appropriate test, preparation, and how the results fit your symptoms and history. Some patients need additional testing or pulmonology evaluation. Confirm scheduling and coverage with the office.
How do I book or contact my care team?
View appointment availability through Privia scheduling. Existing patients can use the patient portal for routine messages. For a medical emergency, call 911.
