At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we provide specialized care for a wide range of allergic and respiratory conditions. Our goal is to help you manage symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and improve your overall quality of life.
Allergy
Testing
Allergy testing involves skin testing and other diagnostic methods to accurately identify the specific triggers causing your allergic reactions.
Asthma
Management
Asthma management focuses on creating a personalized treatment plan that helps control symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and improve day-to-day breathing.
Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots)
Immunotherapy, commonly known as allergy shots, is a long-term treatment designed to reduce sensitivity to allergens and provide lasting relief from allergy symptoms.
Biologic Therapies
Biologic therapies use advanced medications that target specific pathways in the immune system to treat severe asthma and difficult-to-control allergies.
Education & Prevention
Education and prevention focus on helping patients understand their triggers and providing practical strategies to reduce exposure and manage symptoms in daily life.
Conditions We Treat
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways, making it harder to breathe and often causing coughing, wheezing, or chest tightness. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we provide comprehensive care that includes diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management tailored to each patient’s needs. Our goal is to help you control symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, causes symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we identify your specific triggers and create a treatment plan to relieve symptoms and improve daily comfort. With proper care, patients can reduce seasonal flare-ups and enjoy a better quality of life year-round.
Food Allergies
Food allergies can cause reactions ranging from mild itching or stomach discomfort to severe, life-threatening responses. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we provide testing to identify specific food triggers and develop personalized management strategies. Our team works closely with patients to help them stay safe, avoid allergens, and live confidently with their condition.
Skin Allergies
Skin allergies can lead to rashes, itching, hives, or eczema that interfere with comfort and daily life. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we diagnose the underlying causes of these reactions and provide targeted treatment to relieve symptoms. Our approach helps patients manage flare-ups and maintain healthier, clearer skin.
Sinus & Nasal Conditions
Sinus and nasal conditions, such as chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps, can cause congestion, pressure, headaches, and difficulty breathing. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we evaluate and treat these issues to improve airflow and reduce recurring infections. With the right care, patients can experience lasting relief and better overall respiratory health.
Insect Sting Allergies
Insect sting allergies can cause reactions ranging from localized swelling and pain to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we offer testing to identify venom sensitivities and provide treatment plans to protect patients from dangerous reactions. Our care focuses on prevention, emergency preparedness, and long-term safety for those at risk.
Drug Allergies
Drug allergies occur when the immune system reacts abnormally to medications, causing symptoms that may range from mild rashes to severe, life-threatening reactions. At Allergy & Asthma, P.C., we carefully evaluate suspected drug allergies through detailed history and testing when appropriate. Our goal is to identify safe alternatives and guide patients in avoiding harmful medications in the future.
