Sarcoidosis Clinic

We are the only clinic in Tennessee to be certified as a Sarcoidosis Center of Excellence by the World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders and the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research.

In addition to treating lung problems caused by sarcoidosis, our team can quickly connect you with experts to treat your other symptoms. We can coordinate your care with cardiologists, neurologists, rheumatologists, ophthalmologists and other specialists. 

As one of only a few clinics conducting sarcoidosis research in the U.S., we offer clinical trials investigating new approaches to care. That means you have access to the latest, most advanced treatment options before they are widely available.

Most patients with sarcoidosis require a lung biopsy or other lung tests. We work closely with our interventional pulmonologists to provide minimally invasive procedures, such as navigational bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound. These tests often are done as outpatient procedures and involve less discomfort than traditional tests.

Our specialty pharmacists help to ensure that you always have the medications you need. They can advise you on medication interactions and alternatives.

U.S. News & World Report ranks our pulmonology program among the top programs in the nation. Vanderbilt University Medical Center is ranked the No. 1 adult hospital in Tennessee.
