Paul J. Torzillo is a Pulmonologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after people with a range of lung and breathing conditions, along with some related ear, throat and infection problems that can show up alongside chest symptoms.
In day to day care, Paul’s work often includes ongoing lung issues like bronchiectasis, chronic cough, pulmonary fibrosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He also supports people living with long term conditions such as cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension and sarcoidosis. At times, he helps when symptoms flare, like with bronchitis, pneumonia, COVID-19, and acute interstitial pneumonia, or when breathing gets worse due to hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Paul also sees patients when infections and ENT (ear, nose and throat) issues are part of the picture. This can include strep throat, otitis, and otitis media with effusion, alongside breathing tests and symptom checks. Some referrals are for concerns after drops in oxygen or breathing complications, including cerebral hypoxia, where the focus is on making sense of what happened and planning the next steps.
His clinical experience is built around helping people understand what’s driving their symptoms and what care options fit their situation. That might mean working through patterns seen on scans and tests, listening closely to breathing history, and coordinating follow up when conditions need ongoing monitoring.
Paul’s education details aren’t listed here, but as a pulmonologist he brings specialist training for lung disease, breathing health and related respiratory care. He stays focused on practical, plain language support, so patients can feel more confident about their diagnosis and next steps.
