Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

Our approach to your child’s allergy and immunology care

We perform thorough tests to diagnose asthma and allergies in children. These tests also help determine disease severity. Your child may get:

• Allergy skin testing
• Imaging tests, including images of the chest and sinuses
• Lung function test, including oxygen saturation
• Oral food and drug challenge

We partner with your family and your child’s pediatrician to provide care that helps your child feel their best. Our services include:

• Allergy and immunology medications, including allergy shots

• Patient and family education to minimize exposure to allergens and allergic reactions

• Specialized care for children with food allergies

• Diagnosis and management of children with recurrent infections and immune deficiencies.

  • Laboratory testing to evaluate for immune deficiency
  • Genetic testing when appropriate for known immune disorders
  • Treatment with immunoglobin replacement therapy (IVIG or SCIG)
