Respiratory Therapist
Howard Paisner is a seasoned respiratory therapist that has worked with all age groups from pediatric to geriatric.
In his own words, “I love what I do and want to continue helping those with respiratory needs. Most of my time as a respiratory therapist has been in the long-term acute care setting. I have vast knowledge of patients that have adjunct airways called tracheostomy and also those requiring noninvasive ventilation also called CPAP and Bipap. There have been many changes in the field of respiratory therapy since I started 25 years ago. Continuous learning has been needed to keep up with these many changes.”
On free time, Howard enjoys live music events and travel. He is a believer in at least one hour a day of biking or hiking anything outdoors. You can catch him kayaking, playing beach volleyball and his new love, Pickleball.
Howard brings Marquis Healthcare a vast knowledge acquired over the years to help pulmonary compromised patients.
