FemaleAbout Leah Nuss
I specialize in Pediatric Pulmonology. I was inspired to become a healthcare provider by my mother who was a nurse when I was growing up. I have always loved science and found medicine both fascinating and rewarding. I do my best to work with my patients and their families to tailor their care in a way that is both manageable and successful in achieving their goals. I want my patients to live the fullest lives possible and to have every opportunity to be kids!
My little something extra
I enjoy traveling and hiking with my family. I also love a good crossword puzzle!

Dr. Nuss has been a breath of fresh air, pun intended. We have been so thrilled with her care and concern for my child's well-being, and we would absolutely love to come back again. Looking forward to our next appointment and would definitely recommend Dr. Nuss to anyone in need.
