Conditions we treat
Allergy, asthma and immune conditions
Many of our patients have more than one of these at once. Allergies feed asthma, eczema often comes before food allergy, and sinus trouble can keep a cough going for months. We look at the whole picture and treat what connects them.
Allergies
If your nose runs from cedar season into spring and your eyes itch every fall, we find out which pollens, molds or indoor allergens are behind it and build a plan around your results.
About allergiesAsthma
If you reach for your rescue inhaler more than you’d like, or your child coughs through the night, we measure your lungs, find your triggers and give you a written plan you can follow.
About asthmaEczema
If your skin cracks, itches and flares no matter which lotion you try, we look for allergic and everyday triggers, build a skin care routine that fits your family and discuss advanced options when needed.
About eczemaSinusitis
If you’ve had round after round of antibiotics or your sinuses never fully clear, we look for allergies, nasal polyps and immune problems that keep the cycle going, then plan the next steps with you.
About sinusitisChronic cough
If you’ve been coughing for months and cough drops, antibiotics or a chest X-ray haven’t given you an answer, we test for asthma, allergies and other common causes, one step at a time.
About chronic coughFood allergies
If every birthday party, school lunch or restaurant meal comes with worry, we confirm which foods are truly a problem, teach your family to handle reactions and discuss whether oral immunotherapy fits.
