Philosophy
My patients are the reason I am here, and I do my best to ensure a patient-centered practice with active patient involvement.
When determining allergic triggers I focus on identification of allergens, education and detailed avoidance strategies. If medications are required then I work with my patients to determine their minimal effective doses so symptoms are controlled without unnecessary medications. Based upon patient feedback we adjust medications based upon symptoms, seasons and responses to the medications. Quality of life is a priority, and I do my best to make sure that my patients can do everything they want to do even if they have allergies, asthma, immune disorders or other allergic conditions.
