About Allergy & Immunology
When a person has an allergic reaction, it means their immune system mistakenly believes a substance is harmful and responds by trying to eliminate it. Allergic reactions can be mild, like a runny nose, or in rare cases, cause difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat and tongue, or even loss of consciousness.
Allergic disorders affect a large percentage of the population and represent some of the most common chronic medical conditions. While allergic disorders are very common, they are also very complex and require detailed care from a specialist. Our allergy & immunology doctor provides consultation, testing, treatment and continuing care for allergies and allergic conditions, plus testing and treatment for disorders of the immune system, including:
- Anaphylaxis
- Hay fever & chronic nasal problems
- Asthma
- Chronic cough
- Allergic skin conditions, including eczema
- Food allergy
- Insect venom allergy
- Recurrent or chronic sinusitis
- Acute and chronic hives
- Swelling disorders
- Primary immune deficiency
