Healthy lungs are essential for daily activities and long-term well-being. Whether you are managing a chronic lung condition or experiencing new respiratory symptoms, we are dedicated to improving your lung health and overall quality of life.
Treatment Approach
At UT Health Austin, we take a multidisciplinary approach to your care. This means you will benefit from the expertise of multiple specialists across a variety of disciplines caring for you in one place to avoid having to schedule multiple appointments with providers at locations all over the city. The Pulmonology Clinic care team includes fellowship-trained pulmonologists, critical care specialists, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners, dietitians, social workers, and more who work together to restore lung function and enhance your well-being.
We collaborate with our colleagues at the Dell Medical School and The University of Texas at Austin to utilize the latest research, diagnostic, and treatment techniques, allowing us to offer state-of-the-art, evidence-based treatment options for a wide-range of lung and respiratory conditions. Advanced imaging and lab testing are also available on-site if needed.
Appointment Information
At UT Health Austin, we focus on you, the whole patient, making sure that you have the support you need throughout your care. We are committed to clear and timely communication with you, your referring provider, and other healthcare specialists, beginning with your initial visit and continuing throughout your cycle of care. Once our clinic receives a referral from your referring provider, members of the Pulmonology Clinic care team will identify any existing records of treatment in the UT Health Austin system and communicate with your referring provider to obtain needed medical records and other information. If you have received medical treatment from a provider other than your referring provider, your care team will contact you to receive written Authorization to Receive Medical Records from your other provider(s). The Pulmonology Clinic generally will not schedule your initial appointment until it has received all relevant records. Once all records have been received and reviewed, the UT Health Austin Access Center will contact you to schedule your initial appointment.
