What I Do

I’m a pulmonologist and critical care physician. My philosophy of care is to understand pathophysiology and integrate evidence appropriately into clinical practice. As a health care advocate, my goal is to be with my patients at every step of their journey. My special clinical interests include acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation and pulmonary hypertension.

Why I Love My Work

I enjoy how understanding the pathophysiology leads to better outcomes. Complex clinical scenarios keep me motivated, modest and humbled.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy stargazing, biking and exploring different Linux kernels.

    Dr. Pata is by far the best physician I have encountered. He truly cares about his patients and is extremely knowledgeable regarding many fields beyond Pulmonology. I owe Dr. Pata my life. He was the only doctor to really listen and took the time to figure out what was wrong with me.

    Dr. Pata I feel is an excellent doctor! He is very caring, explains things well and is very prepared about why am there. He has called my cell before to give me the latest results from tests. Which I feel is going above and beyond! I am 66 and he is in the top two best doctors I have ever had! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
