Your Pulmonary Care Partner for Life

Pulmonary specialists at California Pacific Medical Center have deep expertise in treating acute and chronic lung conditions. Our Comprehensive Lung Disease Program is the only one of its kind in the Sutter network. What differentiates us is that all the doctors in our program focus on one or two pulmonary subspecialties, making them true experts in their chosen field. Their wealth of experience ensures that you get the best, most specialized pulmonary care possible from diagnosis and treatment to pulmonary rehabilitation.

Lung disease is more than asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Our team treats an array of complex diseases, including pneumonia, bronchiectasis, lung cancer, pleural diseases and sleep disorders. We also evaluate and treat interstitial lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and cystic fibrosis, lung nodules and pulmonary hypertension. In addition, interventional pulmonologists provide both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for airway, pleural, and mediastinal disorders.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing or recurrent infections, we offer a full suite of tests and imaging technologies to make an accurate diagnosis. Our labs also provide special equipment for infant and pediatric pulmonary function tests to diagnose our tiniest patients.

In addition to diagnosis and treatment, we offer many educational classes and support groups that can complement your treatment plan and help you improve your health. We also help you prevent lung disease, with lung cancer screenings and our Smoking Cessation Program.

We believe in a multidisciplinary approach. Pulmonologists at CPMC collaborate with a variety of specialists and services through our weekly Diagnostic Thoracic Tumor Board, our monthly multidisciplinary Interstitial Lung Disease Conference, and our monthly multidisciplinary Cystic Fibrosis Program, which is affiliated with the Stanford University Medical Center. Our team also trains young physicians as part of the CPMC Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Program.

Comprehensive Lung Disease Program

Our Comprehensive Lung Disease Program covers the full spectrum of pulmonology care, from lung disease to sleep disorders. Within our overarching program, we offer more specific services for advanced lung disease, interventional pulmonology services, thoracic oncology services and lung disease research.

Advanced Lung Disease Program

Doctors in our Advanced Lung Disease Program are experts in their respective subspecialties so you can rest assured that you are getting the best individualized care possible from the most experienced team. Specialty programs within our Advanced Lung Disease Program include:

  • Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Program
  • Comprehensive Asthma Program
  • Interstitial Lung Disease Program
  • Cystic Fibrosis Program
  • Pulmonary Hypertension Program
  • Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program

Interventional Pulmonology Program

Interventional pulmonologists at CPMC offer the latest in treatment options and therapies, and they collaborate with specialists in other areas – including radiology and oncology – to create a customized treatment plan that best meets your health needs. In our Interventional Pulmonology Program, we offer the highest level of technique and training in specialized diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Since our program crosses several specialties, we have vast experience doing these procedures, which offer you a much less invasive option compared to thoracic surgery.

Sleep Center Services 

The Sleep Health Center at CPMC evaluates and treats more than 700 people for sleep disorders a year, from obstructive sleep apnea to insomnia. Our overnight sleep center performs sleep studies seven nights a week, offering a gold standard for diagnosing sleep disorders.

Smoking Cessation Program

Doctors and respiratory therapists at CPMC can help you quit smoking and using other tobacco products. We partner with you to get you back on the road to better lung health.

Lung Cancer Program

Through our Lung Nodule Program and Lung Cancer Screening Program, we quickly and accurately evaluate and lung nodules so that you can get appropriate treatments, whether or not the diagnosis includes cancer. If you are a current or recent smoker, you may also be eligible for annual cancer screenings. If you are diagnosed, we work closely with doctors at CPMC who specialize in lung cancer, as well as other specialists to ensure you get the best, most compassionate care possible.

Lung Disease Research Program

Pulmonary specialists at CPMC are committed to finding new treatments for lung disease. In addition to participating in research, they also give opportunities to people with pulmonary conditions to participate in clinical trials.
