Pediatric Cough Expert & Cough Care in Miller Place, NY
Specialized breathing and cough care for children and teens, delivered by a single, dedicated pediatric cough expert who knows the community and treats every family like her own.
WHY LITTLE LUNGS
Pediatric Lung Care Built Around Your Child
Little Lungs of Long Island is a single-practitioner pediatric pulmonology and cough clinic. Your child will see the same physician at every visit, on every call back, and at every follow-up. That continuity is rare in pediatric subspecialty care, and it changes everything: how quickly we can recognize patterns, how confidently families can ask questions, and how thoroughly we can tailor a plan to one specific child.
Dr. Masson grew up on Long Island, trained at top pediatric programs across the country, and spent six and a half years as a pediatric cough expert at Stony Brook before opening this practice. She understands the air this community lives, learns, and plays in, and uses that knowledge to best serve them.

SERVICES OVERVIEW
Specialized Care for Pediatric Lungs
From asthma and chronic cough to pulmonary function testing and complex second opinions, Little Lungs offers focused pediatric pulmonology services for children and teens up to age 21.
Pediatric Asthma Care
Comprehensive asthma evaluation, diagnosis, and management for children of every age, from toddlers with recurrent wheezing to teens whose asthma interferes with sports, sleep, or school.
Chronic Cough Evaluation
A focused, structured workup for children whose cough has lingered for weeks or months. Many “mystery coughs” have a clear cause — and a clear treatment — once the right testing is done.
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
In-office pulmonary function testing performed and interpreted by a pediatric cough expert. Tests are adapted for children and explained to the family in plain language at the same visit.
Allergy & Environmental Triggers
Identifying the root cause of your child’s cough or wheeze, then partnering with allergists, ENTs, and pediatricians when a coordinated plan is needed.
Pediatric Sleep & Breathing Concerns
Evaluation of sleep-related breathing concerns in children, with referral coordination for sleep studies when indicated and follow-up management of children already diagnosed.
Second Opinions & Consultations
A focused review of an existing diagnosis or treatment plan for families who want a careful second look, along with a written summary to share with their current care team.
