Center of Excellence

We enjoy a national reputation as a Center of Excellence, and have, since 1979, worked diligently to expand the services we offer. Our fellowship program trains new physicians in cutting-edge techniques while encouraging them to perform creative research to further the knowledge available to treat our young patients. Most recently, we became one of the only Centers on the West Coast to offer pulmonary function testing on infants.

Our Philosophy

Our patients are our family. For over 30 years, children with both acute and chronic conditions treated at our Center have stayed with us until they transition to adult care providers. Our philosophy is that we are all partners in the commitment to provide the highest level of care to our patients and their families. We appreciate the trust and confidence you have shown in us as your Pediatric Pulmonary Specialty Center.
