Why Choose the Sarcoidosis Clinic at Vanderbilt
- Center of excellence
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.
- Coordinated care
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.
- Minimally invasive procedures
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.
- Specialty pharmacy
Our specialty pharmacists help to ensure that you always have the medications you need. They can advise you on medication interactions and alternatives.
- Recognized care
U.S. News & World Report ranks our pulmonology program among the top programs in the nation.
- Clinical trials
Because we are part of an academic medical center, we offer access to some of the most promising new treatments and therapies being tested in clinical trials. Participating in a clinical trial is always optional. Find a clinical trial.
