The Best Advice
Your Pulmonologist in 1010 Vienna
The primary function of the lungs is to continuously supply oxygen to all the body’s organs and tissues. We often don’t realize how valuable healthy lungs are until their function is impaired by lung disease, leading to problems in daily life—coughing, shortness of breath, and other symptoms can significantly reduce quality of life.
Any impairment of the respiratory system always places a strain on both the body and the mind. In such cases, it is important to find the best solution quickly and speed up the healing process.
People often ask when they should see a pulmonologist: In any case, if you have breathing problems or a persistent cough.
I have been practicing as a specialist in Vienna since 2013. My specialty is pulmonary medicine, also known as pulmonology or pneumology. This field covers a wide range of conditions, including COPD, bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, sleep apnea, and many others.

In addition to examinations for new lung symptoms, I also offer preventive lung screenings and follow-up care for lung conditions.
When and how often lung examinations should be performed is highly individualized and can range from once to several times a year. Follow-up care after COVID-19 has proven to be particularly important.
As a private practice physician, I offer care and treatment in my office based on the latest medical advancements, along with ample time to answer your questions.
I take sufficient time for every conversation, consultation, and examination so that, without exception, all topics important to you can be discussed calmly and without stress.

Quick appointment with a pulmonologist in Vienna – fast and easy

At my practice, I make a point of taking extra time for you: for the consultation, the examination, and personalized treatment. Waiting times at the office are the exception, not the rule.
A prompt appointment with a pulmonologist can be crucial—whether for acute infections, chronic respiratory diseases, or allergic symptoms. The sooner the diagnosis, the more targeted the treatment.
Pediatric Pulmonologist
Pediatric Pulmonology – Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-up
The importance of pediatric pulmonology lies not only in the treatment of diseases, but also in the prevention and early detection of respiratory conditions. Early intervention can help prevent long-term health problems and significantly improve the quality of life for affected children. Pediatric pulmonologists work closely with other specialists, such as pediatricians, allergists, and ENT specialists, to ensure comprehensive care.
My primary responsibilities include the medical consultation, examination, and identification of symptoms, as well as the diagnosis of lung diseases and subsequent counseling and therapy. Holistic care is particularly important to me. I collaborate with other medical facilities and institutions (e.g., allergy centers for advanced allergy testing and radiology centers), which ensures comprehensive and patient-centered care for every patient.
Children are particularly susceptible to respiratory diseases due to their not yet fully developed immune systems and smaller airways. The most common respiratory diseases in children include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and so-called obstructive bronchitis, often referred to as “pseudocroup.” Recognizing the symptoms and signs of respiratory diseases in children is crucial for parents. Common symptoms that may indicate a respiratory disease include coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and an increased respiratory rate. A persistent or worsening cough, especially at night, may indicate asthma or bronchitis.

The most common conditions treated by pulmonologists
Pulmonologists treat a wide range of conditions affecting the respiratory system. One of the most common conditions treated by pulmonologists is asthma. Asthma is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Pulmonologists diagnose asthma using lung function tests and develop personalized treatment plans that include medications and respiratory therapies to control symptoms and prevent attacks.
Another common condition is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a progressive disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways and damage to lung tissue. Symptoms include chronic cough, phlegm, and shortness of breath. Pulmonologists use pulmonary function tests, X-rays, and CT scans to diagnose and monitor COPD. Treatment typically includes medication, oxygen therapy, and, in some cases, surgical procedures.
