Respiratory
Child Respiratory Medicine
A respiratory doctor or physician is also known as a thoracic physician or pulmonologist. A respiratory doctor is a medical doctor with special training and skills in the diagnosis and treatment of lung conditions and diseases such as asthma or cystic fibrosis.
Why your child might see a respiratory physician
If your child has breathing problems, he or she might see a respiratory physician. A respiratory physician might also treat other breathing problems caused by asthma, cystic fibrosis, persistent cough, noisy breathing or other lung conditions. Respiratory physicians can also help with sleep problems like obstructive sleep apnoea and snoring.
We are proud to have Dr Greg Smith and Dr John Widger as part of our Paediatric Respiratory team.
