Pulmonology

Breathing difficulties and sleep problems can wreak havoc on your life. At Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, our pulmonology team can help you find answers. Our experts focus on identifying respiratory problems and delivering treatments that give you the best chance to recover. Here’s what sets us apart:

Our board-certified pulmonologists are well-versed in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, severe asthma, COPD, and other diseases affecting the respiratory system. We focus on these main areas of patient care:

• Pulmonary (lung) disease intervention and critical care, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Lung cancer screening and care
• Asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, tuberculosis
• Sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea
• Pulmonary rehabilitation to improve functioning in daily life for those coping with lung disease

At Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, we have top specialists in interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, and other pulmonary conditions. We’re focused on the latest therapies and involved in clinical trials of experimental treatments, which enables us to help you through all stages of lung disease. We work closely with your other physicians to develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your condition and your lifestyle. Learn more about the pulmonary conditions we treat.

We combine the personal attention of a clinic with the services of a major medical center. Our team members go out of their way to make sure you can get an appointment quickly and receive test results as soon as possible.

Our patients also have access to specialized clinics throughout Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, such as our Sleep Disorders Centers and our Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology Department. We coordinate your care and set up your appointments. This saves you from scheduling multiple appointments on your own and from making extra trips from home or work.
