About Pulmonary Medical Associates
Dr. Nadarajah has been proudly serving the New Jersey community since 1989, providing expert care in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. His philosophy is simple but powerful: to offer compassionate, patient-centered care that treats each individual with dignity, respect, and continuity.
Our dedicated team includes two experienced Nurse Practitioners, four skilled Medical Assistants, and two Clinical Care Coordinators who are constantly overseeing every patients needs and they are available 24/7 to take care of any emergency that arises. We are a unique practice in that we provide care across the continuum from the office to hospitals to long term acute care to sub acute care, nursing homes and home visits.
This ensures that you get to see the same practitioners no matter what your health care needs are. We focus on trying to keep you healthy and our philosophy is preventive care.
We are proudly affiliated with Atlantic Health System, including Newton Medical Center and Hackettstown Medical Center, and offer seamless access to advanced care at Morristown Medical Center for cardiac surgery and Overlook Medical Center for neurosurgical needs.
Additionally, we provide care at Kindred Hospital in Dover for long-term acute care and collaborate closely with Barn Hill and Bristol Glen Nursing Homes in Newton.
At our practice, your health is always our top priority — wherever you are on your healthcare journey!
