Simon D. Bowler is a pulmonologist based on Stanley Street in South Brisbane, QLD. He looks after people with ongoing breathing problems, especially when symptoms keep coming back or take a while to settle.
In clinic, Simon focuses on long-term lung conditions like bronchiectasis and asthma. He also treats eosinophilic asthma, which can behave a bit differently from other types of asthma. At times, that means working out what’s setting off flare-ups and putting a plan in place to help keep airways calmer.
Simon also sees patients with chest infections such as pneumonia and flu. When bacteria infections are part of the story, he helps with careful assessment and treatment, including cases linked to Pseudomonas stutzeri infections. These situations can be frustrating, because they may need more than one step to get things under control.
Some patients come in with less common breathing and lung-related issues too. This can include diffuse panbronchiolitis, which affects the small airways, and chylous ascites, where fluid builds up in the belly. He takes a steady, practical approach, aiming to explain what’s happening and what the next steps are.
Over time, his work has centred on respiratory care and helping people manage day-to-day symptoms, not just the immediate crisis. That can include talking through triggers, reviewing medicine use, and making sure follow-up is clear.
Simon’s education and training are grounded in respiratory medicine and lung health. While you won’t see every study or qualification listed here, the focus is plain: breathing and chest conditions, and the people who live with them.
Research and new treatment options do matter in respiratory care, especially for conditions that don’t improve in the usual way. When relevant, Simon can discuss what’s currently available and whether clinical trials may be an option for a particular situation.
If you’re dealing with repeated chest infections, ongoing asthma symptoms, or a long-term lung condition, Simon D. Bowler is there to help you sort through it and move forward, one step at a time.
