- Primary CareNew patients should bring proof of insurance, as failure to do so may unfortunately delay or prevent you from seeing the doctor. Patients under an HMO health plan should also check their benefits prior to scheduling, as you may require a referral from your primary care provider prior to seeing a specialist physician.
- Internal MedicinePrior to joining the practice in 2005, Dr. Vigo had previously trained at Washington University Hospital in St. Louis and worked at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio. He has a special interest in nasal allergies as they relate to asthma and chronic sinus disease. He also prescribes allergy drops as therapy for appropriate patients. He is a regional speaker on topics that involve allergies and asthma and is on his fourth term as the President of the Austin Allergy Society. In addition, he sits on the Board of Directors for Texas Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Society. He has passed board certifications for both Internal Medicine and Allergy. He is fluent in both English and Spanish. He is also a “former” allergic and asthmatic person.
- EczemaOur staff of board certified Allergists & Immunologists have extensive experience in treating both kids and adults with allergies, asthma, and immunologic problems. We also employ a full-time physician assistant who works closely with our physicians to ensure that acute problems get promptly addressed. All of our physicians treat a variety of allergic and immunologic disorders including asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever, cedar fever), sinusitis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), food allergy, and urticaria. Problems with the immune system such as immunodeficiency can also be investigated.
- AllergiesSo how can you be sure which allergens are responsible for your symptoms? Allergy tests, combined with a physical examination and medical history, can give precise information about what you are, as well as what you are not, allergic to. For instance, perhaps you or a family member has allergy symptoms and your household includes a pet. You don’t have to avoid contact with the pet if allergy testing shows an allergy to dust mites but not to pet dander.
