Meet Dr. Ronald Reodica, a pulmonologist, critical care, and sleep doctor in one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a\u00a0background, pulmonology, as we all know, is an area of medicine focusing on the respiratory system, its health, and ailments. On the other hand, critical care medicine deals with the diagnosis and treatment of extreme clinical problems, which need intensive care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Meanwhile, sleep medicine is a fairly new specialty encompassing diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbances and disorders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Dr. Ronald Reodica, MD, FCCP, FPSCCM<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51337\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/Dr-Rivera-template-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Dr. Ronald Reodica<\/strong> couldn\u2019t imagine being anything else other than a doctor, attributing this to having a father who is also one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He took up medicine at the University of the Philippines Manila and had his residency and fellowship at the State University of New York with subspecialization in pulmonology, critical care, and sleep medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Reodica explained that these three fields are somewhat connected and he took the opportunity to learn all of them, especially the latter two, which are fairly new fields in medicine at that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His typical working day starts with rounds in the Intensive Care Unit as a critical care doctor. He conducts a clinic in the morning and afternoon, and then if he has more time, he reads sleep studies in sleep laboratories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coming home to the Philippines after practicing medicine in the\u00a0U.S. for 11 years has been one of the most fulfilling things Dr. Reodica has done, and as a doctor, engaging and talking with his patients is one of his favorite things to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><b>Make an appointment<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MAB Rm 929, St. Luke\u2019s Medical Center Global City<\/strong><br \/>\nMondays to Thursdays: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays: 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.; Fridays: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.<br \/>\nContact Nos.: 02-8789-7700 loc. 7929 \/ 0946-221-4700<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Medical Office Bldg.
