Specialist care for breathing and sleep
At South Island Respiratory and Sleep, we understand the impact that breathing and sleep can have on your day-to-day life.
When either isn't working well, everything feels harder – energy drops, mood shifts, concentration slips, and long-term health can be affected. Our role is to help you make sense of what's going on and guide you toward the right treatment, with support at every step.
We're a specialist-led service offering comprehensive respiratory and sleep medicine diagnostics and therapeutics across the South Island. Our multidisciplinary team of five specialist physicians and four board registered clinical physiologists, combines clinical excellence with genuine patient-centred care.
