What is an allergist? An allergist is a physician with two extra years of training
who is skilled and experienced in the evaluation and treatment of allergic diseases
such as asthma, hay fever, eczema, food and insect allergy and related
immune deficiency diseases.

Why see an Allergist? Many people suffer from related medical conditions not realizing
the exaggerations of their symptoms is the result of their being allergic to air born allergies,
foods, pets, insects.  These allergens can be tested to determine the level of the allergy.
Then the allergy can be treated to reduce the symptoms that require daily medication.
