Allergies are more than just a nuisance; in extreme cases, they can actually be life-threatening. Whether it's a specific food or an environmental factor, identifying the source of your allergies is an important step toward managing your symptoms and feeling your best. After thorough allergy testing, our experts can help you understand what's triggering your symptoms and develop a treatment plan designed to help prevent allergic reactions and reduce your discomfort.
Other Conditions We Treat
Our allergy and immunology expertise encompasses a number of other conditions. Together, we can identify common sensitivities and help you get your symptoms under control.
Asthma
Whether you're living with ongoing asthma or your symptoms develop only when you get sick or encounter certain allergens, seeking treatment is recommended. We will create a treatment plan to provide short term relief and long-term control of your asthma symptoms.
Children's Asthma
Asthma is a common and growing condition among school-aged children. For a child suffering from asthma, every day brings new challenges and the fear that breathing could become difficult at any time.
Our goal is to help families overcome the limitations and debilitating symptoms associated with childhood asthma. With comprehensive treatment we provide, the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms may be reduced, allowing your child to a more active life.
Sinus Issues
Are you plagued by chronic sinus infections, sinus headaches, blockages or other unbearable sinus issues? Sinus conditions can be caused by many things, from allergies to anatomical factors. And the symptoms of sinus problems can include snoring, congestion, debilitating headaches and obstructed breathing, among others. Our providers can diagnose and treat sinus issues.
Skin Conditions
Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a type of rash that causes your skin to get red, itch, and in some cases, feel like it’s burning. There are two main classifications for contact dermatitis - allergic and irritant. While the triggers for each are different, the reactions and treatment recommendations are very similar.
Most of the time, contact dermatitis can be treated at home, but in some cases you may need to see a specialist. After a few days, if the rash has not responded to treatment and is painful, you should contact our office to be seen.
Hives
Hives can be caused by a number of factors, from bug bites to food reactions to environmental triggers. And unfortunately, hives can be itchy and irritating, causing undue amounts of discomfort. We will analyze your condition and recommend solutions to alleviate the symptoms associated with hives outbreaks.
Ezcema
Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) affects between 15 and 20 percent of school-age children and as many as 10 percent of adults. This chronic condition causes itchy, inflamed skin that is sometimes accompanied by asthma or allergy symptoms. Although some over-the-counter treatments can be helpful in treating and preventing eczema flare-ups, professional dermatologic care often offers the best results. Our skincare team can help you gain control of your eczema and experience increased confidence and improved quality of life.
