Tommy Chung is a pulmonologist based in Concord, NSW, Australia. He works with people who have breathing and lung health concerns, as well as problems that can affect oxygen levels in the body.
Breathing issues can come on suddenly, or they can creep up over weeks and months. In many cases, the goal is to work out what’s really going on, then help you feel steadier and safer. This can involve assessing symptoms, checking risk factors, and making sure care is planned around how you’re going day to day.
Tommy Chung also looks after patients dealing with pulmonary embolism. That’s when a blood clot travels to the lungs. It can be scary and urgent, and treatment often needs careful monitoring. He focuses on making the next steps clear and making sure you understand what to watch for as things move forward.
Some referrals are about cerebral hypoxia, which means the brain isn’t getting enough oxygen. This can happen after serious events, and it can bring a range of symptoms. In these cases, lung and oxygen health are closely linked with what the brain needs to recover. Tommy works with the wider care team to support safe breathing and oxygen levels while patients are being assessed and treated.
As a lung specialist, the work isn’t only about breathing tests or scans. At times, it’s also about helping people make sense of confusing symptoms, like breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance, chest discomfort, or feeling wiped out. The aim is to take a practical approach—listen to what you’re experiencing, review the important details, and then plan care that fits.
Over time, this kind of care can involve both urgent attention and longer follow-up. Some people need help after a hospital episode, while others come in because they’re worried about clots, oxygen levels, or how their lungs are coping. Tommy Chung’s role is to help connect the dots and support the treatment plan with a strong focus on lung and oxygen-related issues.
Tommy is based in Concord and sees patients from the local area and beyond. If you’re dealing with breathing problems, oxygen concerns, or conditions like pulmonary embolism or cerebral hypoxia, he can help guide the next steps and support you through the process.
