About us

At Southwest Houston Pulmonary, we believe that every breath matters. Our mission is simple but powerful: help Texans breathe better and live fuller, healthier lives.

Founded by Dr. Farrakh Khawaja, a dedicated pulmonologist with a passion for patient-centered care, our clinic was created to be more than just a medical office, it’s a place where patients feel heard, valued, and cared for like family. Dr. Khawaja is strongly driven to create a clinic where compassion meets expertise.

Here, we take the time to listen to your story. From helping a grandmother get back to enjoying walks with her grandchildren or working with young patients to manage their COPD so they can live their lives to the fullest extent, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Our team combines effective treatments with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We know that visiting a specialist can feel overwhelming, but from the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll find a friendly smile and a team dedicated to making your experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

Come visit us. Let’s take a deep breath together and start your journey to better health.
