We welcome new patients of all ages with asthma or suspected asthma. Our asthma education program includes a medical history, physical exam, and when indicated, specific skin or blood tests to determine if allergies are playing a role in asthma. Our charge nurses are nationally certified asthma educators and are available to help at any time. Due to the recent epidemic of food allergy, particularly in infants and young children, we have intensified our food allergy education program that include exams and tests and, when indicated, oral food challenges to determine which foods may be triggering allergic symptoms. Drug allergies present a major problem for health care consumers in America. Several drugs can be tested for and it can be determined if patients are allergic to specific drugs such as penicillin or local anesthetics. Many of the diseases that allergists treat, including allergic rhinitis, asthma and stinging insect allergy, can be successfully treated by allergen immunotherapy ("allergy shots"). This involves an extended period of injections containing the substance(s) to which you are allergic. These injections raise your tolerance for the allergen. Immunotherapy is the only treatment that lowers your sensitivity to the offending allergens and can decrease or even eliminate the need for daily medications. Individuals with pollen sensitivity, dust mite allergy, mold allergy, animal allergy and stinging insect hypersensitivity can benefit from allergy injections when medication and environmental controls are ineffective. Give us a call, we are the experts.
