Dr Alan Teoh is a Respiratory & Sleep Medicine Physician based in Newtown, NSW. You’ll find his practice at Suite 416, Level 4, 100 Carillon Ave, Newtown NSW 2042.
Dr Teoh looks after people who have ongoing breathing issues and sleep problems. That can include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and trouble sleeping that may be linked to airflow or breathing at night. In many cases, small changes can make a big difference, but it often takes the right check-up to get there.
For breathing conditions like asthma and COPD, the focus is on clear diagnosis and steady, practical treatment. This may involve reviewing symptoms, checking how things are going over time, and making a plan that fits around day-to-day life. At times, breathing can flare up for different reasons, so having a plan for those “bad weeks” is important.
Sleep health is a big part of the work too. Dr Teoh does sleep disorder evaluation and helps with treatment for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can affect how you feel in the day, your energy, and even your safety on the road. Getting the right diagnosis helps in finding the right treatment, whether that’s lifestyle steps, therapy, or a plan you can actually stick with.
Smoking is also covered. Dr Teoh provides smoking cessation counselling, because quitting can improve breathing and overall health. The goal isn’t just to talk about it once. In many cases, it helps to work through what gets in the way, then build a plan that feels realistic.
Over time, patients come to him for help when they’ve tried things on their own, or when symptoms keep coming back. Dr Teoh aims to make the process feel less confusing and more manageable, from first review through to ongoing care.
In terms of training, Dr Teoh completed medical education and then continued building skills in respiratory and sleep medicine. He keeps up with the kinds of updates that matter for day-to-day clinic decisions, especially as new options and guidelines come along.
For people who are worried about their breathing, their sleep, or both, a proper assessment is the first step. Dr Teoh’s appointments are set up for that—listening carefully, figuring out what’s going on, and helping you move toward a plan that makes sense.
