Summary
Dr. Harvey is the Director of the Bronchoscopy and Procedure Services in the Pulmonary Division. Under his direction, the Pulmonary Division offers a variety of advanced pulmonary procedures including bronchoscopy with lavage, biopsies, endobronchial ultrasound guided biopsy of mediastinal masses and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes; endobronchial hot and cold therapies for airway diseases, trachea- bronchial stent placement and bronchoscopic valve placement for lung volume reduction for advanced emphysema/COPD in individuals with limited exercise tolerance.Dr. Harvey has successfully started this bronchoscopic valve lung volume reduction program in the Pulmonary Division at Weill Cornell Medicine. The process starts with a thorough clinical patient selection evaluation.

Dr. Harvey is an expert in his field. His desire to heal (if possible) and determine and control chronic conditions his patients may suffer is undeniable. I’m so glad to have a pulmonologist with his curiosity and intelligence. It certainly quells any uncertainty I may have about my respiratory health. Thanks Dr. Harvey!
