Allergies are a major source of illness in the US. Allergy symptoms can be annoying, irritating and sometimes even life threatening. Allergy symptoms can include itchy eyes, runny nose, post-nasal drainage, itchy throat, cough, wheezing, skin rash and many other symptoms. Many people with asthma have an allergic component to their disease, and exposure to these "triggers" can cause an asthma attack. Allergies can also be the cause of chronic cough, chronic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. Treatment of allergies can greatly improve quality of life for those who suffer from these conditions.

We provide evaluation and treatment for allergies and related conditions, including allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots).
