    Dr. Bramley completed his undergraduate education at SUNY Binghamton with a degree in Biochemistry. He then received his medical school training at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. After graduation, he completed a residency in Internal Medicine at Yale - New Haven Hospital. During this time he completed research in the Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine examining the daily variation of sedative medication dosing in the Medical Intensive Care Unit. After completing his residency, he was chosen to serve as a Chief Resident in the Department of Internal Medicine.

    Dr. Bramley then completed fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Yale University and Yale - New Haven Hospital. During his fellowship he completed research with the Thoracic Interventional Program evaluating a novel technique to biopsy lymph nodes in the chest.

    Clinical Care

    Overview

    Kyle Bramley, MD, is an interventional pulmonologist who specializes in taking care of patients who are critically ill from diseases that affect the lungs. Dr. Bramley treats conditions ranging from to emphysema to thoracic (chest) cancer. He also regularly sees patients with pleural disease and excess fluid around the lungs, a condition called pleural effusion.

    “From a young age, I really enjoyed science and physiology and the way things interact,” Dr. Bramley says. “Medicine was a good way to study that and it’s a wonderful privilege to help people every day.”

    The ability to engage patients in discussions about their care and actively include them in the decision-making process regarding their treatment is gratifying, Dr. Bramley says. “We spend a lot of time working with each patient to create with a customized plan for their care.”

    One of the most common treatments Dr. Bramley performs is a procedure, called thoracentesis, that removes excess fluid from between the chest wall and the lungs. “We do several of these a day for patients, and, by having it be so routine, we are able to minimize the risk of complications,” Dr. Bramley says.

    The ability to give patients the gift of being able to breathe more easily is a daily reward, Dr. Bramley says. “It’s really wonderful to see people have an instant change when they feel an improvement in their breathing.”
