About Respiratory Physicians Consulting at Adelaide Paediatrics
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.
We are proud to have Dr Greg Smith and Dr John Widger consulting in their private practices at Adelaide Paediatrics Wayville and Mile End locations respectively.
How does a Respiratory Physician help?
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.
