Asthma & Allergy Management

Our pediatricians are trained in the diagnosis and management of childhood asthma and allergies. Diagnosis may be made during a sick visit when a child is wheezing or exhibiting symptoms of allergies, especially if these symptoms are happening recurrently. Occasionally, we may diagnose your child with asthma or allergies during a preventive care visit based on patient or parent concerns or our exam findings.

Dependent upon the severity of symptoms and response to treatment, your child's pediatrician or nurse practitioner may advise a referral to an allergist or pulmonologist. If you would feel more comfortable with your child having a subspecialty evaluation for their asthma diagnosis, please let your pediatrician or nurse practitioner know during your appointment, and we will be happy to send in a referral to a trusted specialist.
