What Can an Allergist Do For YOU?
An allergist is a physician who is specifically trained to diagnose and treat allergies, including: hayfever, eczema, food allergy, and hives, allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, recurrent infections, immune deficiency and related problems.
A board certified allergist has completed medical school, a three year residency in either pediatrics or internal medicine, an additional multi-year fellowship in allergy and immunology, and passed a thorough professional board exam. Because of their advanced training, allergists understand that an allergic, asthmatic or immunological disorder is more than just a runny nose, sneeze, cough, or itch; it is the result of a chronic inflammatory state which, left untreated, will lead to illness, medication dependence, and a poor quality of life. While other practitioners may treat the symptoms of these conditions, allergists treat the cause. By properly diagnosing and treating the underlying problem, allergists can formulate a cost and therapeutically effective plan that can greatly improve your quality of life.
