We have the largest group of board-certified pediatric pulmonologists in upstate New York. Each physician has years of experience treating and caring for children with breathing problems. Our group is committed to a multidisciplinary team approach to care. In addition to our physicians, our team is comprised of advanced practice nurses, respiratory therapists, and social workers, all delivering a "high-tech" as well as a "high-touch" approach to care.
