Pulmonology

Whether your child has a common or a rare breathing disorder, the Pulmonology program at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals is here to help. We're expert in assessing lung function in children of all ages and in diagnosing and treating a wide array of respiratory problems, both acute and chronic. In addition to our general pediatric pulmonary care clinic, we offer specialized clinics for children with cystic fibrosis, asthma and sleep disorders, making us one of the leading pediatric hospitals in Northern California for comprehensive respiratory care.

Our team includes pediatric specialists in pulmonology, critical care, respiratory care and sleep disorders. We collaborate with each other and with families to deliver the best possible care.
