Referring Patients to the Chest Disease Center

Referral Information for Physicians


BIDMC collaborates with referring physicians to improve continuity of care for patients with diseases affecting the lungs and airways and esophagus.

We consider each referring physician to be an important member of our health care team. We strive to keep you updated on your patient's status and are committed to making ourselves available to answer your questions or address any concerns.

We look forward to working with you to provide excellent care and ensure the best possible outcomes for your patient.
