Pediatric Pulmonology subspecialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for children with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic cough, asthma & other causes of wheezing, aspiration/dysphagia-related lung disease, chronic lung disease of prematurity (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) and a wide-variety of other disorders. The Pediatric Pulmonary group, consisting of eight pediatric pulmonologists, Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine fellows, advanced practice nurses, specialty nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers, nutrition specialists and others, employs a team approach; providing full-service inpatient and outpatient care. In addition to our Little Rock location, a satellite Pediatric Pulmonary clinic is located at the Center for Children in Lowell, Arkansas, offering Pulmonary services 3 days/week for children in northwest Arkansas.
Services offered by the Pediatric Pulmonary Division include state-of-the-art bronchoscopy, outstanding PFT laboratories and Respiratory Care services, a state-of-the-art infant PFT laboratory, a fully-accredited Pediatric Sleep Center, the only accredited Cystic Fibrosis Center in the state, a large home-ventilator program, and specialized clinics for asthma, chronic lung disease of infancy (BPD) and pulmonary complications of neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Pediatric Pulmonary physicians are an integral part of the Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center, which is one of only 14 fully accredited Pediatric Sleep Medicine Centers in the USA.
