• Pediatric Care
  An allergist or immunologist is a physician who has specialty training in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases, asthma and diseases of the immune system. To become an allergist, an individual must graduate college( 4 years), medical school (4 years), undergo residency training in either Internal Medicine or pediatrics
• Emergency Care
  Asthma: The four biologics we use for asthma are Xolair, Fasenra, Nucala, and Dupixent. They all have different requirements for approval, and they are used when patients are still having asthma symptoms despite consistent use of high dose asthma medications. Symptoms of asthma include frequent wheezing, shortness of breath, or coughing; waking up at night due to shortness of breath; using albuterol several times a week; several courses of oral steroids due to flare ups; and frequent ER or urgent care visits due to poor asthma control. These medications are approved from ages 12 and up for asthma.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  It usually takes at least nine years of training after a physician receives a bachelor’s degree from college to become an Allergist/Immunologist. After completing medical school (about four years) and graduating with a medical degree, a physician seeking to specialize in allergy/Immunology must next undergo three to four years of residency training either in internal medicine or pediatrics or med-peds (which is a combination of both). Once the primary specialty training is complete, the Allergy/Immunology candidate has to pass the certification exam of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) or both. To further specialize, the candidate then must complete at least two additional years as a fellow in an accredited allergy Immunology training program. This qualifies the individual to sit for the American Board of Allergy and Immunology (ABAI) certification exam. This shows the Allergist/Immunologist has the knowledge, skills, and experience to provide high quality care to patients with allergic and immunological disorders.
