Pediatric Pulmonology (Lung Diseases)
Comprehensive Care for Pediatric Pulmonary Disorders
We provide expert consultation, evaluation and treatment of difficult-to-manage and often life-threatening asthma and other childhood lung disorders.
Pulmonary Conditions We Treat
At Comer Children's we diagnose and manage a wide variety of pulmonary problems. We also provide ongoing care for children who require chronic ventilator support at home, such as those with muscular dystrophy or spinal cord injuries.
