Dr. Gary L. Kohn, FAAP, FCCP, specializes in pediatric pulmonary and critical care medicine. He cares for infants, children, and adolescents with asthma, chronic cough, pneumonia, exertional dyspnea, prematurity‑related lung disease, neuromuscular weakness, and sleep‑related breathing disorders. An educator and invited speaker, he has authored peer‑reviewed work and collaborates closely with families and primary clinicians to coordinate care.
Philosophy of Care:
I want every family to feel informed and supported. I explain diagnoses in plain language, set achievable goals, and build treatment plans that work at home, at school, and during play—so kids can breathe easier and be kids.
Clinical Interests:
Asthma and wheeze; pediatric pneumonia and chronic cough; exercise‑related dyspnea; prematurity‑associated lung disease; sleep disorders; neuromuscular respiratory weakness; pediatric pulmonary consultations and testing.
