The Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis Clinic at UT Southwestern Medical Center offers patients the most advanced care available for the management and treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic lung disease that strikes both children and young adults, and bronchiectasis, a CF-like illness.
Who We Are
Our multidisciplinary medical team includes board-certified clinicians who specialize in cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis, as well as nurse practitioners, nurses, dietitians, social workers, and respiratory therapists – all dedicated to cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis care.
Our specialists also work with other physicians and specialty clinics at UT Southwestern, including otolaryngology, gastroenterology, endocrinology/diabetes, interventional radiology, mineral and metabolism, and urology to help coordinate all aspects of your care.
In addition, our clinic has a close relationship with the pediatric CF program at Children’s Medical Center to make the transition from pediatric to adult care as smooth as possible.
We are accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and are part of the CF Foundation's Therapeutics Development Network, ensuring UT Southwestern’s participation in national, multicenter clinical trials that test new therapies for the treatment of CF.
We are also directly affiliated with the UT Southwestern lung transplant program to allow for successful care of patients with advanced lung disease.
