Southern Illinois Respiratory Consultants

I had asthma as a kid and a few ER visits. Fast forward to med school... I decided to pursue a pulmonary fellowship. Part of my training was dedicated to robotic bronchoscopy, and I was actually lucky enough to be the first one in southeast Missouri to perform the procedure. We've been doing it for over two years now, and I'm very excited to bring it to Mercy as well.
