We know that living with symptoms of allergy and asthma can range from being bothersome to potentially life threatening. A patients’ symptoms can vary with age, season, environment, general health, diet and even stress. Based on all of these factors, as well as any other relevant issues, we will work with you to design a treatment program which results in the most effective therapy for your medical needs. Our goal is to arrive at a treatment plan which allows you to take control of your asthma or allergy issues. We encourage you to ask questions if there is something you that you do not understand, because an informed patient will take better care of his/her condition and ensure an improved quality of life.
We look forward to working with you. It’s our hope that we can have a relationship where the lines of communication are open and we can help you achieve an improved quality of life, free from allergies and its impact on your everyday performance.
