Tanya Badal is a Pulmonologist based in Concord, NSW, Australia. She looks after people with breathing problems, especially when the issue is linked to eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. Her work is focused on getting symptoms under control and helping patients breathe easier day to day.
In her clinic, Tanya commonly cares for people with eosinophilic asthma and asthma that can be hard to manage. At times, asthma doesn’t just behave like “ordinary” asthma. It may flare up again and again, or it may not respond the way people expect. Eosinophilic asthma is one of those patterns, and it often needs a careful, steady approach.
Tanya also works with conditions like chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, and hypereosinophilic syndrome. These conditions can affect the lungs over time. Symptoms can include ongoing breathlessness, cough, and feeling run down. In many cases, the right tests and the right treatment plan make a real difference, but it can take patience and close follow-up.
For some patients, the picture is more complex. Tanya’s practice includes attention to simple pulmonary eosinophilia as well, where eosinophils show up in the lungs. The goal is to sort out what’s driving the change and then choose steps that fit the person’s situation. She also works alongside other healthcare professionals when more than one body system may be involved.
Along with lung care, the practice information also lists herniated disc surgery and microdiscectomy. If those procedures are part of a patient’s broader health plan, they are handled with the same practical, patient-centred mindset—explaining the plan clearly and focusing on what matters for recovery.
