Unhurried, direct, and led by the same physician every time
About Via Vita
Dr. Hanna founded Via Vita Medicine to bring thoughtful pulmonary care straight to you.
The same doctor, every time
You see Dr. Hanna at every visit. He already knows your history, so you're not re-explaining your case from the start each time.
Paperwork happens before you walk in
New-patient forms are sent ahead of time, so the visit itself is spent on the conversation — not a clipboard.
Time to actually examine and explain
Clinic days are set aside for a limited number of patients, so Dr. Hanna can give you his full attention.
Results explained in person
Spirometry and breathing tests are read and discussed with you directly, right after they're done.
About Dr. Hanna
Dr. Bishoy Hanna is a board-certified pulmonary and critical care physician who practices in both the hospital and the outpatient setting. As an attending intensivist in a cardiothoracic ICU, he manages some of the most complex respiratory patients after cardiac surgery in the hospital. He also holds an adjunct faculty appointment at Rutgers University.
His training includes endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and navigational bronchoscopy — advanced procedural skills that inform how he evaluates complex pulmonary cases, even when a visit is for something more common. He founded Via Vita Medicine in May 2025 to bring that same attentiveness to outpatient care in Avenel.

Struggling with a lung problem?
Here's a list of just some of the things Dr. Hanna sees. Don't see your problem or diagnosis? Call and ask!
Asthma
If your inhaler doesn't seem to work the way it used to, or your asthma flares up more than it should, this is exactly what Dr. Hanna sees patients for — including a real look at whether your current treatment still fits.
COPD
If you've been told you have COPD, or you're a smoker or former smoker who gets short of breath more than seems normal, Dr. Hanna evaluates and manages COPD directly, in office.
Obstructive sleep apnea
Heavy snoring, waking up gasping, or feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep — these are worth a conversation, and a next step.
Chronic cough & shortness of breath
A cough that won't go away, or breathlessness that doesn't add up — this is where a proper evaluation starts, including looking past the lungs when that's where the answer actually is.
Spirometry and FeNO testing — the two main breathing tests — are done in office, the same day, when they're needed.
Other conditions Dr. Hanna treats
Interstitial lung disease (ILD/IPF)
Reviewing imaging and history to support diagnosis, and monitoring disease course over time in coordination with specialized centers when needed.
Pulmonary hypertension (PAH/CTEPH)
Initial evaluation of suspected pulmonary hypertension, with referral to a specialized PH center for advanced testing and treatment when indicated.
Smoking cessation
Counseling and a review of pharmacologic options — nicotine replacement, medication, or a combination — tailored to what's realistic for you.
And much more!
