Rhett Cummings, M.D., graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and later completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Systems. He later finished his pulmonary and critical care medicine fellowship at The John Hopkins University Medical Institutions.

He is a member of several associations and organizations including the American Thoracic Society, the American College of Chest Physicians and Oregon Thoracic Society (OTS). Dr. Cummings was also the program chair for the OTS Chest Disease Conference.

"I am always impressed with the results of taking a few extra minutes with a patient. This additional time spent in consultation and discussion about their disease regularly improves not only our relationship, but also the quality of care they receive. I strive to have each patient truly participate in their individual treatment plan."
- Rhett Cummings, MD
