Allergy, asthma and immunology

Using advanced diagnostic testing, our goal is to find the cause of your child’s symptoms. Many diagnostic tests are completed in our office. These may include skin tests, blood tests, pulmonary function tests (PFT), medically supervised food challenges (in-office feeding tests), stinging insect allergy testing, medication testing (ex: penicillin), and other diagnostic tests.

We take the time to explain your child’s diagnosis to you and your child. We then work with you and your family to create a personalized care plan to manage and treat your child’s condition. Your child’s care plan may include:

• Allergy shots (immunotherapy) for environmental allergy and insect allergy
• Oral immunotherapy for food allergy
• Biologic therapies for asthma, eczema, EoE, food allergy, chronic urticaria
• Management of asthma and allergy in the school setting
• Clinical trial participation

Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions that affect a child’s immune system. Children may have an abnormal newborn screen or show signs of an immunodeficiency disorder, such as frequent infections, infections that do not respond to antibiotics, infections that are severe and require hospitalization, lack of weight gain, and digestive problems. If your child is diagnosed with a disorder of the immune system, we work with the appropriate pediatric specialists at Dell Children’s to provide optimal care for your child.
