Welcome to Lung Health Services.

Lung Health Services brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts regardless of healthcare affiliation and we work directly with the patient’s care team to provide the most effective and timely treatment options.
We help patients with lung cancer and other chronic lung conditions through early diagnosis and the optimization of treatment, if not cure. Our specialists use minimally-invasive, state-of-the-art techniques to diagnose and treat conditions in the airways and/or lungs. These treatments can be palliative, curative, or to facilitate healing.
OUR SERVICES
What is Interventional Pulmonology?
Interventional pulmonology is a new and advanced field of pulmonology that utilizes minimally invasive techniques for diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of lung conditions. Interventional pulmonologists employ a multidisciplinary care approach to treating diseases of the central airway. When combined with leading-edge treatment options and early diagnosis many serious lung conditions can be treated and cured. An interventional pulmonologist focuses on the use of therapeutic bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy techniques to analyze pathologies and provide immediate treatment for malignant and non malignant disorders of the airway.
Based on a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s unique health circumstance, Lung Health Services will provide an individualized and detailed treatment plan within 7-10 days of our consultation. At Lung Health Services, we use state-of-the-art technology to identify and treat respiratory symptoms. Our goal is to identify, diagnose and treat patients early to improve health outcomes and life expectancy. We work with a team of specialists to ensure you have the best possible care from diagnosis to treatment.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
Our mission at Lung Health Services is to deliver unsurpassed compassionate medical care. We operate efficiently so you don’t have to wait weeks or months to see a specialist or to begin treatment. If you are a new patient at Lung Health Services, you will begin a treatment plan within 7-10 days of our initial consultation.
Lung Health Services works closely with referring physicians to ensure that they are kept up-to-date on their patient’s situation and progress at all times. We respect the relationship that physicians have with their patients and we hope to team with you and your doctor to provide minimally invasive, out-patient care in an expedited manner that offers better health outcomes.
