Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine
Expert Care for Respiratory Diseases and Critical Illness
SLUCare Physician Group pulmonologists and critical care physicians are fellowship-trained specialists using the latest treatments for complex respiratory illnesses, both in the hospital and in specialized outpatient clinics.
Diagnosis and treatment take place in our state-of-the-art facilities, allowing us to provide sophisticated lung function tests, chest imaging, bronchoscopies, lung biopsies and other diagnostic procedures. As part of an academic medical practice, our doctors coordinate care across specialties — such as interventional pulmonology and oncology — to streamline and optimize care for each patient's unique needs.
