Pulmonologists specialize in the treatment of lung diseases of all kinds, such as tuberculosis, asthma, or a condition called COPD–chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Our specialists in lung care include oncologists who treat lung cancer, transplant surgeons who specialize in lung and heart/lung transplants, pulmonologists who diagnosis and treat conditions that affect the respiratory system, and therapists who work with patients to increase the strength and breathing capacity of lungs following disease or injury.

Our Specialists Provide Comprehensive Care from Diagnosis Through Treatment for:

Asthma and COPD Clinic

Asthma and COPD Clinic physicians diagnose and treat asthma and related airway disorders while helping you find the care appropriate for your condition.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Our pulmonologists offer the expert care you need to live well—and live longer—with interstitial lung disease.

Lung Cancer

People who have lung cancer don’t always notice any symptoms right away. That’s one of the reasons lung cancer can be so dangerous—the symptoms aren’t obvious until the cancer has grown and spread.

Pulmonary Hypertension

While there is no cure for pulmonary hypertension, there are more treatment options than ever before. The University of Iowa Heart and Vascular Center offers all of those options. We also offer clinical trials of potential new treatments.

Pulmonary Infections

Our service offers assistance and consultation on all aspects of care for adult patients with suspected or diagnosed pulmonary disease.

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) care providers focus on the evaluation and management of TB and other chronic infections of the lung.

Lung Transplant

Your care is part of a comprehensive lung service dedicated to providing the most innovative treatment options to patients with advanced lung disease. Based on the most recent group of transplants reported by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, our one-year graft survival rate for all lung transplants was 89.6%, which is six points higher than the national average of 83.8%.

Pulmonology

The Pulmonary Clinic evaluates and manages breathing disorders in children and adolescents. Typical conditions seen by our staff include chronic cough and cystic fibrosis.
