Asthma & Allergy Management
Our practice provides a comprehensive asthma and allergy management program for our patients. Our allergist is trained in the diagnosis and management of adult and childhood asthma and allergies.
Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary function testing is done at least every 6 months and may be done when monitoring medication changes. The test results are interpreted by our allergist to help guide your treatment. This is a non-invasive test performed in all patients age 5 or older with asthma to assess lung function and response to medication and to assess overall asthma control.
Asthma Education
We teach about environmental controls and avoidance of triggers. We also watch you using your inhaler to confirm it is being used correctly. Information about caring for the medication devices that you use is provided and reviewed at every visit. We will provide an Asthma Action Plan for your child for school.
Maintenance Visits
Patients with asthma should be seen in our office every 3-6 months depending on their severity of illness and their asthma control. Regular visits are required in order for us to evaluate you prior to medication refills.
