Frequently asked questions
Questions about lung and sleep care
Quick answers to what patients often ask before booking.
Before your visit
When should I see a pulmonologist?
Consider a specialist assessment for a persistent or recurring cough, wheezing, unexplained shortness of breath, breathing problems that affect daily life, or a known lung condition that needs specialist care.
Do you treat sleep apnea?
Yes. Sleep apnea assessment, sleep studies and treatment follow-up are part of sleep medicine care when clinically appropriate.
Can I have an online consultation?
Yes, through the external telehealth platform for suitable situations. Some symptoms or examinations need an in-person visit.
Do you see children?
Yes. The practice sees adults and children. Children are assessed according to their age and needs.
What tests might I need?
That depends on the reason for your visit. Possible tests include spirometry, pulmonary function tests, sleep studies and other assessments.
Do I need a referral?
You can ask for an appointment without a diagnosis. Check with your insurer whether they need a referral for cover. [VERIFY]
What should I do in an emergency?
Call 998 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use the clinic's phone, WhatsApp or booking pages for emergencies.
Ready for a specialist assessment?
In-person in Dubai or online. No referral needed to ask for an appointment.
