Asthma Care
Asthma & Allergy Management
Our providers are trained in the diagnosis and management of childhood asthma and allergies.
Diagnosis is usually made during a sick visit when a child is wheezing or exhibiting symptoms of allergies.
Occasionally, we may diagnose your child with asthma or allergies during a preventive care visit based on patient or parent concerns or our exam findings.
What We Do

Maintenance Visits
Children with asthma should be seen in our office every 3-6 months depending on their severity of illness and their asthma control. We offer in-office spirometry testing to help evaluate and monitor your child's lung function.
Spirometry is a simple, non-invasive test that measures how well the lungs are working and can help diagnose asthma, assess symptom control, and guide treatment decisions. By tracking changes in breathing over time, we can provide personalized care to help your child manage asthma and stay active and healthy. Regular visits are required in order for us to evaluate your child prior to medication refills.
Asthma Education
We will provide teaching about environmental controls and avoidance of triggers. We educate you and your child to use his/her inhalers correctly. Information about caring for the medication devices that your child uses is provided and reviewed at every visit. We will provide an Asthma Action Plan for your child for school and will provide a Food Allergy Action Plan if needed.
