Our mission is to provide care exceeding expectations.

To be the best in delivering advanced respiratory and sleep care, as well as sophisticated bronchoscopic procedures, with a focus on improving patient outcomes in the most efficient manner.

From manageable conditions to chronic and life-threatening diseases, Sydney Respiratory Specialist Clinic is committed to providing exceptional care for all respiratory and sleep-related issues.

Founded in 2017 by Dr. Samantha Herath, a leading adult respiratory and sleep specialist, the clinic has since grown into a renowned center for comprehensive respiratory and sleep care. Dr. Herath completed her post-fellowship training in sleep medicine at the esteemed Woolcock Institute of Sleep Medicine and holds a Master’s Degree in Sleep Medicine from the University of Sydney. She also undertook a 12-month fellowship at the prestigious McGill University in Montreal, specializing in interventional bronchoscopy, and earned a PhD from the University of Sydney, focusing on minimally invasive bronchoscopy for diagnosing lung nodules in lung cancer.

Located within the Parkway SAN Clinic at Wahroonga, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care for a broad range of respiratory conditions. Our team now consists of four highly skilled respiratory specialists, each with specialized expertise in Respiratory and Sleep Medicine. All are fellowship-trained with the Royal Australian College of Physicians.

We also have two accredited respiratory scientists working in our fully equipped lung function laboratory, along with two sleep therapists and an accredited cardiopulmonary physiotherapist, ensuring comprehensive care for every patient.

At Sydney Respiratory Specialist Clinic, we offer consultations, diagnostic tests, treatment, and management plans for conditions such as lung cancer, interventional bronchoscopy including EBUS, sleep disorders (including CPAP clinic), asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, and more. We provide home sleep studies and consultations with sleep specialists to accurately diagnose sleep disorders.

Our lung function testing suite includes spirometry, lung volumes, asthma and allergy testing, exercise testing, and fitness testing for professions such as police, fire, and mining. These tests help diagnose respiratory conditions and monitor lung function.

Our mission is to deliver personalised medicine and excellence in clinical care, taking the time to understand each patient and provide compassionate, comprehensive care.

The minimum duration for our consultations is 30 minutes. We never double-book patients, allowing us to give you our full attention and discuss your treatment plan in detail. You will never be rushed during your visit.
We strive to adhere to your scheduled appointment times. If there is a delay of more than 15 minutes, you will be promptly notified. We understand that your time is valuable.
Dr. Herath performs highly complex bronchoscopy procedures, which only a few respiratory specialists are qualified to undertake. There are no out-of-pocket charges or gaps for patients undergoing these procedures. Dr. Herath can perform bronchoscopy procedures for both public and private patients, as she has admitting rights to multiple hospitals, including Sydney Adventist Hospital, Northern Beaches Hospital, and Macquarie University Hospital.
General respiratory consultations are charged at a reasonable out-of-pocket cost to ensure timely and well-considered care plans and follow-ups. Your out-of-pocket costs are similar whether you have a lengthy (60-minute) or shorter (30-minute) appointment. If you bring your EFTPOS card, we can return your Medicare rebate to your bank account immediately before you leave the clinic.
We communicate with your GP after each consultation through a formal clinic letter. Depending on the clinical situation and urgency, we will also contact any other specialists involved in your care.
If you are referred for lung cancer or lung nodule treatment, we leave nothing to chance. Time is of the essence—before you even come to the clinic, we will organize all necessary investigations, including lung function tests, bronchoscopy, biopsy, and PET scans, to ensure your diagnosis is completed within two weeks. We will personally contact cardiothoracic surgeons and oncologists when referrals are needed and will arrange urgent appointments on your behalf.
We are committed to providing the best care possible and have hired skilled lung function scientists, top CPAP therapists, and high-quality administrative staff to ensure that your care exceeds expectations.
