Dr. Raisa Bhikoo Pulmonologist

Welcome to Cape Lung Care, where your respiratory health is our top priority. I am Dr. Raisa Bhikoo, a dedicated pulmonologist in Cape Town, focused on providing comprehensive and compassionate care to improve your lung health. With extensive training and experience in pulmonology and critical care, I specialize in diagnosing and managing various respiratory conditions, from asthma and COPD to complex sleep disorders like sleep apnea.

I obtained my MBChB in 2011, followed by advanced training in Internal Medicine at the University of Stellenbosch, graduating in 2020. From 2021 to 2024, I completed subspecialist training in pulmonology and critical care. In addition to my medical expertise, I’m passionate about living a balanced life through running, travel, and spending time with my family.

At Cape Lung Care, I combine advanced diagnostic tools with a patient-centered approach, ensuring high-quality care that remains affordable for the local community. Whether you need routine care or specialized treatment, I’m here to help you breathe easier.
