Surya Kant is a pulmonologist based in Bundoora, VIC, working from 5 Ring Rd, Bundoora. If you’ve been dealing with ongoing breathing issues, chest infections, or long-term lung conditions, this is the type of care built around the lungs and breathing.
In many cases, patients see Surya Kant for problems like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and bronchiectasis. Some people are also referred when symptoms don’t fit neatly into one label, such as ongoing cough, wheeze, or breathlessness that keeps coming back.
Lung infections and other chest-related conditions can be part of the work too. This includes pneumonia and more serious infections, including tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) and other complex infections. At times, referrals also cover issues that affect the lining around the lungs, like pleural effusion or pleurisy.
Breathing can be affected by different types of lung damage over time. Surya Kant also looks after people with conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary hypertension is another area where specialist breathing support can make a big difference, especially if symptoms like tiredness and shortness of breath are getting worse.
Some patients are referred for lung tumours and related conditions, including lung cancer. The focus here is on clear lung assessment and supporting the next steps with the treating team. There are also rare and unusual lung conditions that may need careful specialist input, particularly when tests point to something more specific.
Sleep and breathing at night matter as well. Obstructive sleep apnoea is one example, where the breathing can pause during sleep and leave people feeling worn out during the day. Getting the right diagnosis and treatment plan can help improve day-to-day life.
Depending on what’s going on, care may include breathing checks and procedures such as endoscopy where it’s needed. This can help doctors and patients understand what’s happening inside the chest, and guide treatment choices.
Surya Kant works with patients across the full range of lung problems, from common respiratory illnesses like colds and COVID-19 to more complex conditions. The approach is practical and calm, with an emphasis on getting answers, discussing options clearly, and keeping things moving when symptoms are not settling.
