Pulmonologist at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District, Hyderabad

Home › Locations › Apollo Hospitals, Financial District

Dr. Kishan Srikanth Juvva is a pulmonologist (lung specialist) at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District, Nanakramguda. He sees adults and children with asthma, COPD, chronic cough, lung infections, interstitial lung disease, lung nodules and sleep apnea. The OPD runs Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Lung function tests, bronchoscopy and sleep studies are done in the same hospital.

If your family doctor has told you to “see a chest doctor” or a “lung doctor”, a pulmonologist is the specialist they mean. In Telugu, ఊపిరితిత్తుల వైద్య నిపుణులు. A pulmonologist diagnoses and treats problems of the lungs, the airways and breathing during sleep.

Dr. Kishan sees patients at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District during the day, in the Pulmonology department. Apollo is where the hospital-based part of his work happens: detailed lung function testing, bronchoscopy, sleep studies, and care for patients who need to be admitted. For evening consultations he also runs Breathe Well Clinic in Kondapur.

Dr. Kishan trained in general medicine (MD) and then completed a DM in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, the super-speciality degree for lung and intensive care medicine in India. He secured All India Rank 2 in the NEET-SS entrance for super-speciality courses.

He went on to a Master’s in Interventional Pulmonology at the University of Florence, Italy. That’s the branch of lung medicine that uses bronchoscopes and other minimally invasive tools to diagnose and treat lung problems without open surgery. He also completed a Fellowship in Sleep Medicine with the Indian Sleep Disorders Association, New Delhi.

He has more than 12 years of clinical experience. In August 2023 he presented research on therapeutic bronchoscopy at the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) conference in Chicago.

more about Dr. Kishan

Wheezing, a tight chest at night, or a cough that flares with dust, cold air or exercise. Asthma is confirmed with breathing tests, not guessed from symptoms. Treatment is built around inhalers used the right way, in the right dose.

COPD is long-term airflow blockage, usually from smoking, but in India also from years of cooking-fire smoke and dust at work. Spirometry confirms it. Inhalers, vaccination and pulmonary rehabilitation slow it down and make daily life easier.

lung disease treatment in Hyderabad

A cough that has lasted more than eight weeks in an adult is called chronic. Common causes include asthma, post-nasal drip, acid reflux, side effects of some blood-pressure medicines, and after-effects of an infection. Finding the cause takes a structured work-up, not repeated courses of cough syrup.

Scarring or inflammation of the lung tissue. It causes a dry cough and breathlessness that slowly gets worse. Diagnosis combines a high-resolution CT scan, lung function tests and, in some cases, a lung biopsy taken through a bronchoscope (cryobiopsy).

lung cryobiopsy

A spot on a chest X-ray or CT scan is common, and most are not cancer. The pulmonologist decides whether a nodule needs watching, a PET-CT, or a biopsy. When a biopsy is needed, it’s usually done through a bronchoscope or with EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound). Confirmed cancers are treated jointly with Apollo’s oncology team.

EBUS-TBNA

India carries about a quarter of the world’s TB cases. TB and fungal infections such as aspergillosis can look like other lung diseases on a scan. Sputum tests, bronchoscopy samples and, where needed, CT-guided work-up help pin down the cause before treatment starts.

Severe or repeated pneumonia, and breathlessness or cough that lingers for weeks after an infection has cleared. Some cases need admission and oxygen; others need follow-up imaging to make sure the lung has fully recovered.

Fluid around the lung (pleural effusion) or air leaking into the chest (pneumothorax). Fluid is drained with ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, and the sample is tested to find the cause. A chest drain or medical thoracoscopy is used when needed.

pleural disease management

Loud snoring, pauses in breathing that a partner notices, waking unrefreshed, and dozing off during the day. Obstructive sleep apnea is diagnosed with a sleep study and is commonly treated with CPAP.

sleep and pulmonary rehabilitation

Recurrent wheezing, a cough that keeps coming back with every cold, and suspected childhood asthma.

Patients who are too breathless to be managed at home, including those needing oxygen, non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP) or ICU care.

Each procedure is explained in plain language on its own page: why it’s done, how to prepare, what it feels like, recovery, and risks.

Book a consultation if any of these sound familiar:

• A cough that hasn’t settled after three or four weeks, or keeps coming back every few months
• Breathlessness on stairs or while walking that wasn’t there a year ago, or that is slowly getting worse
• Wheezing, or a tight chest that wakes you at night
• A chest X-ray or CT report that mentions a nodule, shadow, fibrosis or fluid
• Chest infections more than twice a year
• Loud snoring with pauses in breathing, or feeling sleepy through the day even after a full night in bed
• A long smoking history and you’re over 50. US screening guidance (USPSTF, 2021) recommends a yearly low-dose CT for adults aged 50–80 who have smoked at least 20 pack-years and either still smoke or quit within the last 15 years. Your pulmonologist can tell you whether screening makes sense for you.
• An upcoming surgery where your surgeon or anaesthetist has asked for lung fitness clearance

The Financial District, Gachibowli and Kokapet belt has grown fast. That has meant years of construction dust, heavy traffic on the Outer Ring Road, and a large workforce spending long hours indoors under air-conditioning. None of this is a reason to panic. It’s a reason not to brush off a cough that won’t go away.

A few numbers put it in context:

• Air quality. The Centre for Science and Environment found Hyderabad’s average PM2.5 level across winter 2024–25 was about 52 µg/m³. The World Health Organization’s guideline for long-term exposure is 5 µg/m³. The two figures measure slightly different things (a seasonal average against an annual limit), but the gap is wide.
• COPD. A 2026 review of Indian studies in BMC Pulmonary Medicine estimated that about 13% of Indian adults have COPD. Many have never had the breathing test that would diagnose it.
• Sleep apnea. An AIIMS New Delhi analysis estimated that about 11% of Indian adults, roughly 10.4 crore people, have obstructive sleep apnea. Most don’t know it.
• Tuberculosis. India accounts for about 25% of the world’s TB cases, according to the WHO Global TB Report 2025. TB is still a common cause of chronic cough and fluid around the lungs here.

Most patients at this location come from the western and south-western suburbs. Typical off-peak drive times:

If you live in Kondapur, Madhapur, Hitech City, Miyapur or Kukatpally, the evening OPD at Breathe Well Clinic, Kondapur may be easier to reach.

The hospital is in Nanakramguda, inside the Financial District, close to the Nanakramguda toll gate on the Outer Ring Road.

• From Gachibowli: via the Gachibowli–Nanakramguda road.
• From Kokapet, Narsingi and Tellapur: the Outer Ring Road is the quickest route.

• Book. Call or WhatsApp +91 90598 73547 and mention you want to see Dr. Kishan Srikanth at Apollo Financial District.
• Register. Arrive about 15 minutes early to register at the Apollo front desk. First-time patients get a hospital ID.
• Consultation. Expect detailed questions: how long the symptoms have lasted, what makes them worse, smoking, work exposure, cooking fuel at home, pets, medicines. Then a physical examination.
• Tests. Many patients need spirometry, and it is often done on the same day. Others need a chest X-ray, CT or blood tests. Sleep studies and bronchoscopy are scheduled separately.
• Plan. You leave with a diagnosis, or a clear list of what’s still needed to reach one, plus a treatment plan. Follow-ups can be at Apollo or, if evenings suit you better, at Breathe Well Kondapur.

• All previous reports, discharge summaries and prescriptions
• X-ray films and CT scan CDs, not just the printed reports (the doctor needs to see the images)
• Your inhalers and medicines themselves. Inhaler technique is checked at the visit, and it’s one of the most common reasons treatment doesn’t work.
• For a sleep problem: what your partner has noticed, such as snoring, pauses in breathing or gasping
• For a child: the vaccination card and any past hospital records

The same doctor sees you at both, and your records can be carried between them.

Apollo Hospitals works with insurance partners. Whether a test, procedure or admission is covered cashless depends on your policy, and the hospital’s insurance desk confirms this before a planned procedure or admission. After your consultation, you’ll be given an estimate of the cost and the expected length of stay for any planned procedure.
