WellStar Pulmonary Medicine Grows with Five New Physicians

WellStar Pulmonary Medicine has added five new physicians to its practice: Folu Akinnusi, M.D.; Jonathan Y. Chen, D.O.; Salim S. Harianawala, M.D., M.B.A., F.C.C.P.; Amyn Hirani, M.D.; and Chirag Patel, M.D.

Drs. Harianawala and Patel see patients at WellStar Pulmonary Medicine’s Douglas and Paulding offices; Drs. Chen and Hirani see patients at the Marietta location; and Dr. Akinnusi sees patients at the Austell location.

“The addition of five new pulmonary/critical care and sleep physicians to WellStar Pulmonary Medicine will improve access in all the communities we serve, including Marietta, Austell, Hiram and Douglasville, home to our newest office,” said Alan Muster, M.D., WellStar’s chief pulmonary officer.

“We will be able to focus on new programs to improve the quality of care and the health and well-being of the patients we serve. For example, we plan to bring endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to WellStar Cobb Hospital, and we are working to enhance the care of our patients hospitalized with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).”
