As a child, Dr. Talha Nawaz drew inspiration from the
dedication and compassion that his father, a physician,
showed to his patients. He chose medicine to blend his
passion for science and his desire to impact people’s
lives, finding a deep sense of meaning and purpose in his
role as a physician. He appreciates the combination of
fast-paced critical care and the long-term relationships
developed with his pulmonary patients.
As a board-certified pulmonary medicine physician,
Dr. Nawaz provides comprehensive care for adult
patients with complex diseases of the respiratory system,
including the lungs, airways and blood vessels. He has a
special interest in lung nodules and bronchoscopy. Dr.
Nawaz believes in focusing on his patients, creating a
welcoming and respectful environment where they can
feel heard. He assures that patients fully understand any
diagnosis and all options. He encourages everyone to
not smoke and to practice healthy habits like weight loss
and exercise.
Originally from Pakistan, Dr. Nawaz came to the United
States for continued medical training. He and his wife
have one daughter. He enjoys travel, especially to the
National Parks, along with soccer and cricket.
