Rachel E. Foong is a Pulmonologist based at 100 Roberts Road, Subiaco, WA 6008, Australia. She looks after people with breathing problems, from younger kids to older adults. If you’re dealing with ongoing chest issues, new symptoms after an illness, or you’re caring for a baby with breathing difficulties, her focus is on practical, steady respiratory care.
In many cases, Rachel helps manage common long-term lung conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchiectasis. She also works with people who have cystic fibrosis, where lung health and day-to-day wellbeing often need careful planning together. At times, patients come in with flare-ups, long recovery times, or ongoing cough and mucus. Rachel spends time working out what’s driving the symptoms and what support helps most.
She also considers the “whole body” side of breathing. That includes nutrition and factors like malnutrition and vitamin D deficiency, which can affect how someone copes with illness and how well the lungs recover. When an infection is part of the picture, such as flu, she helps with breathing management and recovery steps, so people can get back to normal as safely and comfortably as possible.
Children and babies can be part of her day-to-day work too. Premature infants and babies with stridor—noisy breathing caused by airflow issues—need a calm, careful approach. Rachel looks at what’s going on, listens closely to the breathing story, and helps families understand the next steps in a clear way.
Rachel’s experience covers a broad range of respiratory problems, including both stable ongoing care and situations where symptoms change. Her education is in respiratory medicine, with training that supports lung-focused assessment and treatment planning. She also stays up to date with current evidence and guidelines for lung health, especially where asthma, COPD, and bronchiectasis care are concerned.
If clinical trials are ever relevant for a specific condition, Rachel can talk through whether any trial options are a fit. The main goal is simple: to make sure lung care feels understandable and manageable, not overwhelming.
For appointments in Subiaco, Rachel E. Foong works from 100 Roberts Road. People often find it helpful to bring any test results, recent discharge papers, or a quick list of symptoms and triggers, so the first conversation can move along.
