Pulmonology (Lungs) in La Crosse

We each take about 20,000 breaths a day. So it's easy to see why illnesses that affect the lungs and breathing are so vital to your overall health. Our pulmonologists and lung specialists in La Crosse, Wisconsin, can help you breathe easier by diagnosing and treating diseases of the lung.

Our lung screening program can help determine your risk for lung cancer and provide recommendations to detect lung cancer in its early stages. And with our advanced technology and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, we can reach and biopsy lung nodules in areas that previously couldn't be reached. You'll get answers the same day as your procedure.

Common lung-related conditions we treat include:

• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
• Asthma
• Pneumonia
• Pulmonary fibrosis
• Interstitial lung disease (progressive scarring of lung tissue)
• High blood pressure
• Lung cancer
• Lung nodules
• Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea

You may be scheduled for further diagnostic testing after your initial appointment, including:

• Overnight sleep oximetry
• Polysomnogram (PSG)
• Pulmonary function testing (PFT)
• Radiology exams, such as chest X-ray and CT scan

Not all treatments, tests and services are available at all Mayo Clinic Health System locations. Check with your preferred location in advance.
