D. Kyle Hogarth, MD, is an expert in pulmonary diseases. He is also involved with the minimally invasive diagnosis, management, staging and treatment of lung cancer through bronchoscopy. Dr. Hogarth was one of the first doctors in Illinois to work with the superDimension system — an electromagnetic navigation system that uses 3-D imaging technology to detect and biopsy nodules and masses. He was the first physician in the region to utilize the Auris Monarch platform, a robotic bronchoscope that allows deeper access to the lung without surgery. He uses endobronchial ultrasound to biopsy lymph nodes, place stents in cancerous airways, and perform all other minimally invasive techniques to help patients with lung cancer. He sees patients in clinic on Fridays. Dr. Kyle-Hogarth is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Lung Nodules. His top areas of expertise are Lung Nodules, Emphysema, Sarcoidosis, Endoscopy, and Advanced Bronchoscopy.
