Inspire Lung and Medical Centre

Please note Dr. Damaraju will be taking a temporary leave of absence starting July 25 2025 - July 31 2026 (anticipated date of return, may change).  

The office will be open, but with modified services.  

NEW PATIENTS: 

Starting May 1 2025 we will unfortunately need to CLOSE our waitlist to new referrals. 

In the meantime, please consider obtaining advice / care through the following mechanisms: 

• Contact the on-call respirologist at your nearest Fraser Health hospital  
• Refer to another respirologist, with names and waitlists available on Pathways 
• Refer to regional respirology clinics such as those at Jim Pattison Outpatient Centre 
• For urgent issues, send the patient to ER 

Once the office has reopened to full services, we would be pleased to assist with new patient referrals. 

EXISTING PATIENTS: 

As of April 2025, existing patients will be notified of these changes.  

Patients will be booked with a locum if possible, otherwise on a modified schedule with Dr. Damaraju. Appointments will be virtual by default, with in-person appointments booked if medically required.  

Availability unfortunately cannot be guaranteed, and for any appointments that need to be moved / delayed, we would appreciate if the patient could see the family doctor / referring provider first, and then have their provider correspond with us for any pressing issues.  

SPIROMETRY REFERRALS: 

We are still OPEN to referrals for office spirometry only, and the requisition can be found here:

Thank you for your understanding.
