Conditions Treated
Our goal is to get you back to enjoying a healthy and active life, even when suffering from allergies. From diagnosis to treatment, we offer the following services:
Allergies
An allergic reaction typically triggers symptoms in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, lining of the stomach or on the skin. For some people, allergies can also trigger symptoms of asthma. In the most serious cases, a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis can occur. To diagnose allergies, we conduct a physical examination, skin tests, and go over your medical history. Management includes various medications, and immunotherapy such as allergy shots help build immunity or tolerance to allergens is a very effective form of treatment.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways in the lungs. These airways, or bronchial tubes, allow air to come in and out of the lungs and are always inflamed. The muscles around the airways can also tighten leading to recurrent cough, shortness of breath or wheezing. We offer different diagnostic tests to evaluate asthma, including pulmonary function testing, methacholine challenge, nitric oxide level measurements, and chest x-rays. Treatment may include trigger avoidance, medications, immune or biologic therapies.
Food Allergies
Food allergies occur with the body has an abnormal immune response from exposure to a food. The most common food allergies are to eggs, milk, wheat, peanut, soy, tree nuts and seafood. Food allergies are often misdiagnosed, so your provider will obtain a detailed history and perform selected allergy tests to ensure appropriate diagnosis. Tests may include a skin test or blood allergy testing, depending on the severity of your allergy and what the allergist feels your body can handle. Treatment plans will vary by patient, and many of those patients are required to have an epinephrine auto-injector with them at all times.
