Pediatric Pulmonology

Pediatric pulmonary specialists treat children with respiratory tract disorders that impact overall health. Our providers, including our in-office pediatric respiratory therapist, offer care close to home, giving your child quality and convenience. And to ensure effective appointments, you’ll have access to comprehensive pediatric pulmonary services including our onsite pulmonary function testing system. Because at St. Luke’s, we believe that children deserve the best.

Our children’s pulmonology team has experience treating chronic and acute lung disorders ranging from common to complex. Partnering with your child’s pediatrician, St. Luke’s children’s lung specialists can treat the following conditions–and more:

• Aerodigestive conditions
• Allergy and asthma (chronic inflammation of the airways)
• Chronic cough and recurrent wheezing
• Congenital lung diseases
• Cystic fibrosis (a genetic disease with pulmonary and nutritional symptoms)
• Difficult or noisy breathing
• Difficulty breathing and shortness of breath
• Neuromuscular conditions
• Recurring pneumonia (infection of the lungs)
• Snoring and apnea (when a child’s breathing stops for a prolonged time)

Our expert pediatric pulmonology specialists in the Lehigh Valley offer advanced treatments and pulmonary function testing (PFT) at convenient locations throughout the network and on-site at the Pediatric Specialty Center with our pediatric respiratory therapist. This enables us to give your child a comfortable, positive experience and leave with results and treatment plans. And by using the latest techniques, we can address your child's needs without sacrificing the personalized experience found at a regional hospital.
