Please note that we do NOT treat patients with symptommatic asthma (daily inhaler use). We are an ENT allergy practice and as such, deal only with problems above the shoulders which excludes the lungs and asthma. We also do NOT typically address other types of allergies including foods, insect, metal, etc. We mainly focus on inhalant pollen allergy.
