About Me

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pulmonology

Dr. Muhammad Umair Khawar comes to TriHealth after serving five years as assistant professor in pulmonary and critical care medicine and as associate director for the cystic fibrosis program at the University of Cincinnati. He has extensive clinical and research expertise related to bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary vascular disorders, evaluation of lung mass/cancer, advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and complex asthma treatment, including the use of newer biological therapies.

Dr. Khawar sees adult patients for respiratory system disease and also treats critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. He listens carefully to his patients and tailors treatments to suit their needs and expectations. He assures that patients are well educated on the disease process by explaining complex topics in simple terms. He likes to build long‑lasting relationships with his patients. He encourages everyone to get daily exercise to benefit health and mind.

Originally from Pakistan, Dr. Khawar is married to a physician and has two children. He loves to travel and spend time with his family, play tennis, swim and collect watches. Passionate about equitable health care delivery, he is involved with several related nonprofit organizations.
