Precise Testing for a Precise Diagnosis

Norton Pulmonary Specialists is a leader in pulmonary disease care for Louisville and Southern Indiana patients. We offer a full range of pulmonary tests, including spirometry and pulmonary function.

We use bronchoscopy to investigate your respiratory system. With medication to help you relax, but rarely general anesthesia, we use the bronchoscope to record images and can retrieve tissue and blood samples for further testing.

Our board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians will provide you with a specific-to-you diagnosis and a customized a treatment plan.

Norton Pulmonary Specialists includes an entire team of physicians, research specialists and medical professionals. We pride ourselves on being at the leading edge of research trials and innovative new therapy treatments. We’ve been pioneers in pulmonary care, treating thousands for more than four decades.
