End the cycle of suffering from allergy and asthma symptoms.

If Repeat Visits to Your Primary Care Provider or Over-the-Counter Medications Aren’t Giving You the Relief You’re Looking for…

It’s time for an allergist

Your primary care provider is trained to help with a whole range of health problems. They are the first line of care for health issues interrupting your life, but they don’t specialize in a specific illness, body system or organ. Allergists are specially trained to find the source of your allergy and asthma symptoms and treat them so you can feel healthy. After earning their medical degree, they must complete a three-year residency training program in either internal medicine or pediatrics. Then, allergists complete a two- to three-year fellowship in the field of asthma, allergy and immunology. Always look for a board-certified and fellowship-trained allergist to find a doctor who is an expert in treating allergies and asthma. Why? Allergies and asthma are their entire focus, and they know all the best and latest treatments to help patients get control of their symptoms. See what an allergist treats.

When You Need to Get Your Asthma Under Control…

It’s time for an allergist

Asthma can put a damper on your lifestyle. Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes, the passageways that allow air to enter and leave your lungs. It can either be triggered by an allergen or something like stress, exercise or even the weather. Asthma makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs, causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and/or chest tightness. Did you know there are different types of asthma with different symptoms? Testing to identify what type you have can lead to better treatment. Learn more about asthma testing. There is no cure for asthma, but board-certified, fellowship-trained allergists are specialists in all types of asthma, including severe asthma. They know the latest medications that are available to treat it. See a board-certified, fellowship-trained allergist and get relief from your chronic asthma.
