David Langton is a pulmonologist based in Frankston, VIC. His clinic is at 2 Hastings Road, Frankston, VIC 3199, Australia. If you’ve been dealing with breathing trouble for a while, or you’re not sure what’s behind ongoing cough, wheeze, or shortness of breath, a lung specialist can help you sort it out.
David works with people who have long-term lung conditions, as well as those who need checks to get a clearer diagnosis. Many appointments focus on things like asthma, including eosinophilic asthma and other eosinophilic lung problems. These are conditions where certain white blood cells can play a role, and they can affect how the airways behave over time.
He also looks after patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD can make breathing harder, especially with day-to-day activity, and symptoms often change from week to week. In many cases, the goal is steady management and a plan you can actually follow.
Another part of the work is bronchiectasis, which is when parts of the airways are damaged and can collect mucus. This can lead to repeated chest infections, lingering cough, and a feeling that you’re always “getting over something”. David helps patients understand what’s going on and what options are available to support lung health.
David treats other related conditions too, including chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, and hypereosinophilic syndrome. These conditions can be confusing because symptoms may slowly build, and they can look a bit like other lung issues at first. Getting the right tests and putting the pieces together matters.
He also offers endoscopy as part of lung care, when it’s needed. Endoscopy can be useful for taking a closer look and helping guide the next steps, especially when results need more detail.
At times, breathing problems are made worse by inflammation, past infections, or ongoing triggers. David’s appointments are built around figuring out what’s driving your symptoms and making a practical plan for management. The aim is to keep things clear, calm, and focused on day-to-day breathing, not just the diagnosis.
