Pulmonologist – Job Description (Reno, NV)
We’re looking for a board-certified or board-eligible Pulmonologist to join a growing, patient-first practice in Reno, Nevada. This role focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of respiratory and sleep-related conditions while delivering a high-touch, relationship-driven patient experience.
Pulmonologists specialize in diseases of the lungs and respiratory system—including conditions like COPD, asthma, lung disease, and sleep-disordered breathing—and play a key role in improving long-term patient outcomes.

- Develop personalized treatment plans, including medication, PAP therapy, and lifestyle interventions
- Perform and/or oversee procedures such as bronchoscopy and other pulmonary diagnostics
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (RTs, sleep techs, primary care, cardiology, etc.)
- Provide education to patients on disease management and prevention
- Manage patients with sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea
