Find Lung Doctors in This Institute

Cough, shortness of breath, abnormal breathing patterns, chest pain, and chest tightness are the most common clinical signs of lung disease. When one or more of these symptoms are present, it may be a sign of a problem. And it may be time for you to see a doctor who specializes in lung disorders.

The Institute for Asthma and Lung Diseases brings together a unique group of specialists and medical services to offer coordinated, comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of lung conditions.

The Institute's doctors include both pediatric and adult pulmonologists (doctors who specialize in lung diseases), allergists, doctors who specialize in cancer treatment, and surgeons. Located on the Hospital campus, a variety of laboratories to test breathing are used to diagnose and treat all lung diseases and sleep disorders. These facilities are staffed by registered respiratory therapists, board-certified pulmonary function technologists, and exercise physiologists.

Referrals to these specialists or to cardiac programs and services available at the Hospital can be made through a patient’s primary care physician or can be requested through the Institute's doctor referral service by calling 1.866.ASK.LUNG.
