Chest Specialist for Patients from Mohali

When to see a pulmonologist if you live in Mohali

If you have a simple viral cough, a doctor near your home in Mohali is the sensible first stop.

A pulmonologist's opinion is useful when a breathing problem has been going on for a while and isn't getting sorted. The inhaler isn't really working. The cough keeps returning. A CT report has a line on it nobody has explained. Your father gets admitted every winter with the same chest problem. In those situations, regular follow-up with one chest specialist helps. Dr. Manan Bedi sees patients from Mohali, Kharar and New Chandigarh at his clinic in Sector 20, Panchkula.

Who we see from the Mohali side

Mohali has changed a lot in the last decade, and so have the patients we see from there.

Young professionals from the IT and services sector, often with a long-running dry cough, allergies, or sleep problems linked to long hours, late dinners and weight gain. Snoring with daytime tiredness is common in this group. See our page on sleep apnea and snoring.

People working in industrial areas, construction or workshops, where dust, fumes and chemical exposure can slowly affect the lungs. A proper work history matters here, and Dr. Bedi always asks for one.

Older adults with COPD, heart-lung overlap problems or lung fibrosis who need regular follow-up and careful adjustment of medicines. See COPD treatment and ILD care.

Students living in PGs and hostels, sometimes with TB symptoms that have been brushed off as a "normal cough". See TB treatment.

Reaching the clinic from Mohali

The clinic is at 1st Floor, Booth 194, Sector-20, Panchkula. Coming from Mohali, most people drive through Chandigarh or take the Zirakpur side, depending on where they live. Expect roughly 35 to 50 minutes at normal times; evening rush can stretch that.

Short route: From Mohali, the most direct way is to head to Zirakpur (for example via Airport Road) and then take the Zirakpur–Panchkula–Kalka highway towards Panchkula. Sector 20 lies along this highway, just past Peer Muchalla. From Phase 3B2 it is about 20 km.

If you are coming for the 5 PM slot after work, call ahead and we will tell you how the queue looks. There is also a Sunday OPD from 11 AM to 2 PM.

What the first visit involves

We like the first visit to be thorough, because it sets the direction for everything after it.

  1. History. Your symptoms in detail, past treatment, smoking, work exposure, family history, and other conditions like diabetes, BP or heart disease.
  2. Examination, including oxygen level.
  3. A look at what you already have. Old X-rays, CT scans, PFT reports and prescriptions. Please bring originals or clear photos.
  4. Tests if needed. Commonly spirometry (PFT), a chest X-ray, or blood and sputum tests. An HRCT, sleep study or bronchoscopy only when there's a clear reason.
  5. A plan you can follow. Medicines, inhaler technique, what to watch for, and when to come back.

Follow-up without starting from scratch

Long-term lung problems do better with one doctor who knows your history, your test results over the years, and how you respond to medicines.

For stable patients, follow-up visits are usually short. If something changes between visits, you can call or WhatsApp the clinic and we will tell you whether you need to come in.

If you need hospital care

Dr. Manan Bedi is associated with Paras Health, Panchkula. If a Mohali patient needs admission for a severe flare, pneumonia, or a procedure such as bronchoscopy or pleural fluid drainage, the plan is explained clearly at the clinic and arranged there, with the same doctor looking after you.
