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.

I'm on the 1st question. I input the answer before I can listen to the whole question about that, but I was meeting for the 4. Everything went well. Thank you.

of the years that I've been seeing specialists or that my mother who has been seeing specialists or my daughter, none of us have ever been given the time and accommodation that Dr. Nuss provided during our visit. I cannot stress enough how thrilled and relieved to have found this children's hospital, this pediatric pulmonologist, Dr. Nuss or [staff name], the pulmonary therapist Our experience was top-notch. I will be recommending, I have recommended people that I know to see this physicians group. Our experience was beyond fantastic and I can't believe that a doctor spent that much time discussing and going over everything with me in that depth. Thank you so much.
