Dr Alistair Abbott is a Respiratory & Sleep Medicine Physician based in Bondi Junction, NSW. He works from Suite 508, Level 5 Harley Place, 251 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction NSW 2022.
Day to day, his work focuses on breathing and sleep health. That can mean helping people who live with asthma, or dealing with symptoms that hang around even when you think they should have settled. In many cases, this includes working out what’s causing ongoing issues and then putting a plan in place that’s practical for real life.
Asthma care is a big part of what he does. He looks at how symptoms are affecting you, checks what might be triggering flare-ups, and supports treatment that aims to reduce breathing trouble. He also helps with long-term management, not just quick fixes.
Chronic cough can be frustrating and stressful. Dr Abbott evaluates and treats chronic cough by trying to find the reason behind it. At times, that means reviewing your history closely and making sure the right steps are taken before assuming it’s “just one of those things”.
Sleep is another key area. Dr Abbott evaluates and treats sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea can affect how you feel during the day, including energy, focus, and even mood. He helps patients understand what’s going on and supports treatment options to improve sleep and comfort.
For many people, changing smoking habits can also be part of better breathing. Dr Abbott provides smoking cessation counselling. This support is aimed at helping people take steps that can lower health risks over time, especially if smoking is linked to breathing symptoms.
Overall, Dr Abbott’s approach is based on careful diagnosis and clear treatment. He aims to make sure you’re not left guessing about your symptoms, and that the next steps make sense. If you’ve been dealing with asthma symptoms, a persistent cough, or sleep apnoea concerns, he can help with assessment and management through the Respiratory & Sleep Medicine side of care.
His clinic is in the Bondi Junction area, making it a convenient option for patients who want access to help for breathing and sleep problems in one place.
