Anthony Kicic is a pulmonologist based in WA, Australia. He works with people who have breathing problems, from day-to-day issues like coughs and wheeze to more serious lung conditions that can be hard to manage.
In his clinic, Anthony looks after adults and children with long-term lung diseases and ongoing breathing symptoms. This can include asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, and bronchiolitis obliterans. At times he also helps with things like chronic bronchitis and problems that affect the airways, such as stridor.
He’s also experienced in helping patients through lung infections. These may be things like pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and infections caused by tough germs. He cares for people with MRSA, and he also works with infections linked to Pseudomonas stutzeri. Depending on the situation, this may be treated alongside breathing support and other medical care.
Some patients he sees have complex needs from birth or early life. That can include asthma in children, bronchiolitis obliterans in the right context, and lung problems in premature infants, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia. He may also help with related concerns like malnutrition and vitamin D deficiency, because these can affect how well people recover and breathe.
Anthony also supports people with cystic fibrosis, including managing lung infections that can come with it. For some patients, he can be part of care plans around lung transplant pathways, depending on how the case develops.
He understands that respiratory care isn’t just about tests. Over time, he focuses on making sure the plan is practical for daily life, not only for the hospital. That means talking through symptoms, checking treatments are working, and adjusting care when things change.
As a trained respiratory specialist, Anthony stays up to date with new evidence and current treatment approaches. When relevant, he may discuss options that are being studied in clinical trials, especially for people who don’t get enough relief from standard treatments.
