Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Lung Program

Montefiore Einstein’s Comprehensive Lung Program includes a multidisciplinary team of pulmonologists, lung surgeons, lung transplant surgeons and more, working together to treat all conditions, from the benign to the malignant, the simple to the complex. Our highly trained experts utilize state-of-the-art technology and the most advanced surgical techniques to provide disease management, treatment, surgery and transplantation. Our program plays a unique and vital role in the local community as the exclusive healthcare provider for interstitial lung disease and advanced emphysema treatments.

Our team of specialists, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, nutritionists and pharmacists are focused on providing relationship-centered care, and we collaborate with our patients, families, and each other to provide the best care possible and improve quality of life and survival rates.

The Comprehensive Lung Program is fully integrated with Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, among the elite 1% NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S and ranked among the top 1% of U.S. hospitals for cancer care and pulmonology & lung surgery by U.S. News & World Report. The program is also a Designated Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Care Center Network site, reflecting our expertise in diagnosing and treating pulmonary fibrosis and other complex lung diseases.

Montefiore Einstein's Comprehensive Lung Program uses the latest technology and surgical techniques. From advanced diagnostics and surgical staging to minimally invasive robotic surgery, we utilize leading-edge advancements for precise, efficient, state-of-the art care.

We stand out as one of just a few hospitals in New York City using the LUNGguard™ Donor Lung Preservation System to transport lungs for transplantation. We are also one of only two centers nationwide to use confocal laser endomicroscopy, a technology that enables physicians to examine transplanted lungs at the cellular level.

In addition to these pioneering technologies, we proudly hold the distinction of being the only program in New York to offer transbronchial cryobiopsy to patients fighting interstitial lung diseases.
