Majdy M. Idrees is a pulmonologist based in Nedlands, WA, working from 17 Monash Avenue, Nedlands. Respiratory care can be stressful, especially when breathing feels harder day by day. Majdy focuses on helping people understand what’s going on and putting a steady plan in place.
As a lung specialist, Majdy looks after a mix of conditions that affect airflow, lung function, and overall breathing comfort. This can include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), along with emphysema. Some people also come in dealing with ongoing coughing, chest tightness, or breathlessness, where getting the right tests and treatment matters.
In many cases, symptoms are more than just “a bad cold” and can last longer than expected. Majdy also helps manage pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs. This can make everyday activities feel more difficult, and it often needs careful follow-up over time so treatment stays on track.
There are also times when lung health is linked to other health issues. Majdy works with patients who have rheumatoid lung disease, and he can help sort out what’s driving breathing symptoms in those situations. He also manages patients with hemoglobinopathy-related breathing concerns, where oxygen levels and blood health can play a role.
Some patients have skin or mouth conditions that can overlap with other health problems. Majdy sees people with lichen planus, and he also provides respiratory assessment for people with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), oral squamous cell carcinoma, and leukoplakia. These cases need a careful approach, especially when treatment plans can affect swallowing, breathing, or general fitness.
Where possible, care is grounded and practical. That means listening to your story, taking note of breathing changes, and working through treatment options that fit your day-to-day life. Treatment may involve medicines, monitoring symptoms, and arranging the right next steps if things change.
Majdy completed medical training and went on to pursue further specialist training in respiratory medicine. Ongoing learning matters in this field, because lung conditions and treatments keep evolving.
Clinical trials are sometimes part of the wider picture in respiratory care, but specific trial involvement depends on each patient’s situation. Majdy can discuss what’s relevant and what’s available as part of follow-up planning.
