Asthma & COPD Treatment in Denver, CO

Same-day asthma and COPD treatment in Denver: nebulizer breathing treatments, steroids, spirometry and chest X-ray. $350 at KaufCare with an ER physician.

KaufCare treats asthma flares and COPD exacerbations the same day at 2515 Eliot St in Denver — no referral needed. A board-certified emergency physician assesses oxygen saturation, lung sounds and peak flow, then treats with nebulized bronchodilators and corticosteroids, repeating treatments until air movement improves. Spirometry, chest X-ray, EKG and rapid viral tests are performed on site when the diagnosis calls for them, and prescriptions are sent to your pharmacy the same visit. Walk-ins are welcome Monday–Friday, 9am–9pm. Severe attacks — struggling to breathe at rest, speaking only a few words at a time, blue lips, drowsiness or confusion — are a 911 call, not an urgent care visit.

Breathing problems we treat

• Asthma flare-ups

  Wheezing, chest tightness or a rescue inhaler that is suddenly needed every few hours — treated with nebulizers and steroids the same day.

• COPD exacerbations

  Increased breathlessness, wheezing or mucus in known COPD or emphysema, with antibiotics when the picture calls for them.

• Wheezing with colds and flu

  Viral infections are the most common asthma trigger; rapid COVID/flu/RSV testing identifies the trigger during the visit.

• Exercise- and cold-air-induced symptoms

  Coughing or tightness during winter workouts, evaluated with spirometry and treated with a prescription plan.

• First-time wheezing in adults

  Spirometry, chest X-ray and EKG on site separate new asthma from the conditions that imitate it.

• Altitude-aggravated breathing trouble

  Denver sits at 5,280 feet; flares aggravated by altitude are treated and high-altitude illness is evaluated when the story fits.
