Polish Pulmonologist in London
A pulmonologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats all diseases of the respiratory system, although they are most commonly associated with serious lung conditions. A pulmonologist in London diagnoses respiratory disorders and congenital defects, prescribes appropriate treatments, and also focuses on the prevention of respiratory diseases.
It is important to consult a pulmonologist not only when you suspect a lung disease. Indications for further examination can include increased fatigue, persistent coughing, hemoptysis, and many other symptoms. A pulmonologist can help with various conditions, including allergies, which often manifest as shortness of breath and coughing—pulmonologists frequently have additional specialization in allergy treatment.
Pulmonologist at FastMedica in London
At our clinic, experienced specialists in allergy and pulmonology, as well as pediatricians, handle the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, including those caused by allergies. Our doctors have gained valuable experience in pediatric allergy clinics and pediatric dermatology both in Poland and the UK.
Our doctors are qualified to diagnose and treat all lung diseases, as well as provide preventive care in this area. This means that a pulmonologist in London cares for patients who are dealing with lung diseases, as well as healthy individuals who are at risk of developing these diseases in the future. However, the majority of our patients are those who already show concerning signs from the respiratory system, such as shortness of breath, sleep apnea, chest pain, or chronic coughing.

Our doctors treat both children and adults. They continuously enhance their medical knowledge and skills by attending various national and international courses, workshops, and conferences (including those in Geneva, Milan, Athens, and London).

Diagnosis and Treatment of Respiratory Diseases
The diagnosis of respiratory diseases begins with a patient interview. The doctor will ask if there is a family history of lung diseases, such as cancers, asthma, or cystic fibrosis. Questions about the patient’s environment, occupation, exposure to air pollution, and medications taken are also discussed. Following the interview, specialized tests are necessary, including functional respiratory tests and imaging studies.
Diagnostic tests include:
- Spirometry
- Chest X-ray
- Laboratory tests
