We care for patients with both common and complex respiratory conditions, providing clear answers, personalised treatment plans and support designed to improve long-term health and quality of life.
Expert respiratory assessment and diagnosis
Our respiratory practice uses state-of-the-art tools to assess breathing and lung function. This includes advanced tests such as:
- Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) — a detailed evaluation that helps find the cause of breathlessness or reduced exercise capacity.
- Spirometry — a common test used to see how well your lungs work. It measures how much air you breathe in, how much air you breathe out and how fast you breathe it out.
These tests, combined with a thorough clinical assessment, allow our team to find underlying conditions and tailor treatment to each patient's needs.

Multidisciplinary, integrated care
Patients benefit from Mayo Clinic Healthcare's collaborative model of care. Our respiratory practice works closely with colleagues in:
- Cardiology.
- Radiology and advanced imaging.
- Preventive and exercise physiology.
- Immunology.
This team-based approach ensures coordinated diagnostics and streamlined treatment planning, especially for people with complex or overlapping conditions.
When needed, we also draw on expertise from our colleagues at Mayo Clinic in the US, ranked among the best hospitals for respiratory conditions by U.S. News and World Report.
