Respirology

Our online doctors are able to provide referrals to respirologists (sometimes also named pulmonologists) in Ontario for patients who require them.

Respirologists specialize in the treatment of lung disease, ranging from asthma to emphysema to pneumonia. They can both diagnose and treat problems related to breathing. That being said, if you think you are experiencing an emergency breathing issue, call an ambulance or head to your closest emergency room for treatment.

For any other non-emergency requests, when an appointment with a respirologist may be required, the physician you meet with can provide you with a referral to one in Ontario, where you will be able to schedule an appointment within one week. There is no need to go in person to pick up your requisition form; it will be provided to you online, where you can download or print it before setting up your respirologist appointment.
