Pulmonary Medicine
Our Mission
To advance respiratory health by delivering compassionate, evidence-based care for patients with lung and sleep disorders and critical illnesses. We are committed to excellence in clinical practice, innovative research, and comprehensive education, fostering collaboration and promoting wellness for our patients, families, and communities.
Pulmonary Hypertension
StatCare provides specialized diagnosis and management for pulmonary hypertension as a Certified Center of Excellence. This serious condition involves high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, which forces the heart to work harder and can lead to severe shortness of breath or fatigue. Our specialists utilize advanced hemodynamics and cutting-edge therapies to reduce arterial pressure, improve heart function, and enhance your overall quality of life.
COPD
StatCare provides expert evaluation and comprehensive care for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) through advanced diagnostic tools and lung function testing. This progressive condition, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, restricts airflow and makes it increasingly difficult to breathe due to damaged air sacs or inflamed airways. Our team designs proactive management plans to reduce flare-ups and help you maintain an active, independent lifestyle.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes shortness of breath and affects more than 500,000 adults in Tennessee. StatCare offers expert diagnosis and management for asthma using advanced imaging and specialized pulmonary function testing. This condition causes your airways to swell and narrow, often producing extra mucus that makes breathing a struggle and triggers coughing or wheezing.

Lung Nodules and Masses
StatCare offers expert diagnosis and management for lung nodules and masses using advanced imaging and specialized pulmonary function testing. These spots or growths in the lungs are often found incidentally and require precise evaluation to determine if they are benign or potentially cancerous. Our team utilizes cutting-edge technologies including Robotic Bronchoscopies to detect even the smallest nodules early, providing a minimally invasive path to accurate diagnosis and life-saving treatment.
Interstitial Lung Disease
If you develop symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or a dry cough, it’s crucial to identify the underlying cause. With treatment, you can relieve uncomfortable side effects and live a more active lifestyle. This group of disorders involves progressive scarring or inflammation of the lung tissue, which makes it increasingly difficult for oxygen to enter your bloodstream. Our specialists create personalized care plans—including anti-fibrotic medications and oxygen therapy—to slow disease progression and improve your daily respiratory health.
Pleural Disease
StatCare offers expert diagnosis and management for pleural diseases, including pleurisy and pleural effusion, using advanced imaging and on-site testing. These conditions occur when the thin layers of tissue surrounding your lungs become inflamed or filled with excess fluid, making breathing painful or difficult. Our team uses targeted treatments and drainage procedures to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and help you breathe easier.
