Jose R. Arias, Jr., MD – Altamonte Springs – Orlando – Ocoee – Clermont “After medical school, I chose to specialize in allergy and asthma because I know what it’s like to suffer with these problems. My children have allergies and I have had asthma most of my life. I feel that being able to relate to what you’re going through helps me be a better doctor for you. I understand the physical and emotional side of dealing with these kinds of issues, and I can share my experiences as a specialist, a parent and a patient.”
“Compared to other medical specialties, the specialty of allergy, asthma and immunology is relatively small, yet what we do is incredibly important. Allergies and asthma affect the lives of millions of people and often require sophisticated testing and treatment. As specialists, my colleagues and I work in partnership with you, your doctor and your entire healthcare team. We are equipped to provide standard-of-care allergy and asthma care. If you’re suffering with allergy symptoms that make you miserable or asthma that’s putting your health at risk, you need this level of specialized care.”
