Treatment & Procedures
Treatment we provide includes:
- Allergen immunotherapy
- Medication therapy
We regularly assess your condition to make sure the prescribed treatment is working. This includes measuring your symptom control, functionality, quality-of-life improvement, lung function, use of certain medications and use of emergency department services. In other words, we measure the factors you've said are important to you and the factors that demonstrate clinical improvement of your condition.
Similarly, our comprehensive approach to your care includes measuring the results of immunotherapy (allergy shots) to determine if therapy is successful and should continue.
