Back to Asthma and Pregnancy: Q and A with Dr. Laura Fisher

We should be. It requires at least nine years of intense postgraduate study to become an allergist/immunologist.

You don't just "get over" allergies, and just taking a pill won't give you the best results. You need to find out what's causing your sneezing or coughing or rash or ear infections, or many other symptoms.

And then you need to treat those causes, not just the symptoms. That's where all that study and training come in. That's when it's time to see an allergist.

We are dedicated to giving you the best quality care in the fields of allergy and asthma, and to giving you a better quality of life by helping to find those causes and alleviating or controlling your symptoms.

On your initial visit we document your complaints, do investigative studies and suggest an approach to your condition based on our findings. Many of our patients show significant improvement immediately upon following the recommendations made.

We know that allergic conditions can make you unnecessarily miserable for extended periods of time and can have complications. Allergic factors influence significantly the following symptoms:

Nasal Congestion Wheezing Sneezing Coughing Watery nasal discharge Shortness of Breath Post nasal discharge Watery, itchy eyes

Conditions which can be caused by allergic disease include:

• Asthma
• Rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal tissues)
• Sinusitis
• Repeated respiratory infections
• Urticaria (hives)
