We provide state-of-the-art clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment services in a compassionate and culturally sensitive manner to patients with health problems such as:

• Asthma
• Acute and chronic pulmonary emboli
• Emphysema
• Interstitial lung disease
• Lung cancer
• Sarcoidosis

• Fungal infections of the lung

The physicians in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine also offer services at facilities inside Nashville Metro General Hospital that help in the diagnosis and treatment of patients including:

• Pulmonary Function Laboratory
• Critical Care Services
• Bronchoscopy Services

We provide excellent education and training in areas related to respiratory medicine to the college’s students and residents. We also conduct basic and patient oriented research with special emphasis on asthma and its effect on the African-American community. Patient care, education and research are integrated to provide the best care available for our patients and our community.
