Dr. Daniel Calabrese is a pulmonologist and critical care specialist who cares for patients with advanced lung diseases before and after lung transplantation. He evaluates the lung function of patients with severe lung disease and specializes in caring for those with sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), cystic fibrosis, connective tissue disease–associated ILD, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He also cares for patients in the intensive care unit, as well as those who need pulmonary consultations and outpatient care at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System.

Calabrese's research focuses on understanding what causes various complications following a lung transplant in order to improve outcomes for patients who undergo transplantation.

Calabrese earned his medical degree at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He completed a residency in internal medicine at the University of Washington, followed by a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at UCSF. He completed additional training in lung transplantation.

    Dr. Was very professional--informed of my case had suggestions for improving my health and evaluated the efficacy of the medicine I am taking. I was so impressed that he was so informed on my situation when we had not yet met.

    The provider had met with me before and I really liked how he explained things so I was able to see a bigger picture and understand the smallest problems. I love learning how the body works when there is a problem and he explains it so well.

    He is one smart doctor whose first question to me was asking what issues I wanted to talk about. He then addressed mine plus others. Offered explanations of my problem that no other doctor explained to me. It all made sense. He is an excellent communicator.
