Dr. Hassan Bencheqroun, fondly referred to as Dr. B, is a board-certified pulmonologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases of the lungs such as Asthma, Lung Cancer, Pulmonary Hypertension, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Chest infections, COPD, and Short of Breath of unknown cause. A native of Morocco, he speaks fluently 4 languages including Spanish, French, and Arabic. “Shortly before defending my thesis and graduating from medical school, I was involved in a car accident which nearly claimed my life,” says Dr. Bencheqroun. “Through the days that followed, I was introduced to what it means to wear the patient’s hat, feel the pain, experience the pity in people’s eyes, ask for help, and wait every day for my doctors’ visits to tell me what’s next. That experience would forever affect the way I would treat my patients and their families.” Dr. B continued his education in the United States with specialized training in Interventional Pulmonology, as well as in the field of Clinical Research, which he brings to the communities, for patients to access and benefit from. He practices medicine “old school” where he treats his patients the way he would wish to be treated; with care and compassion, respect of each person’s choices and beliefs, looking at his patient as a whole, and explaining plainly the diagnosis, process, and therapy. He is always accessible to his patients by cell phone or email.
