Whether you’re dealing with new symptoms or seeking better control of chronic allergies or asthma, our dedicated team is here to help you achieve better health and a higher quality of life.

Allergies occur when your immune system mistakenly identifies harmless substances—like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, certain foods, or insect stings—as threats. This can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, or swelling. We offer comprehensive allergy testing to accurately identify your specific triggers, whether they are airborne allergens, foods, or environmental factors.

Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and sensitivity in the airways, often leading to wheezing, coughing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. Many of our patients experience both allergies and asthma, as they frequently coexist and share similar triggers. Our specialists use the latest diagnostic tools to assess your lung function and determine the type and severity of your asthma.

Common triggers we help our patients identify and manage include:
● Airborne allergens (pollen from grasses, trees, and weeds)
● Indoor allergens (dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, cockroach droppings)
● Food allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish)
● Environmental irritants (air pollution, tobacco smoke, strong odors)
● Physical factors (exercise, cold air, respiratory infections)
● Medications and insect stings

We understand that genetics play a significant role, and a family history of allergies or asthma can increase your risk. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to your care, combining trigger identification, education, and the latest treatment options—including immunotherapy (allergy shots), medication management, and preventive strategies.

Our approach to asthma management is focused on helping you control symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and enjoy a better quality of life. Our board-certified specialists work with you to create personalized treatment plans that typically include both quick-relief (rescue) and long-term control medications. We prescribe quick-relief inhalers, such as albuterol, to address sudden asthma attacks, ensuring you have rapid relief when you need it most. For ongoing management, we offer long-term control therapies like inhaled corticosteroids—considered the most effective treatment for persistent asthma—as well as leukotriene modifiers, combination inhalers, and advanced biologic therapies for severe or difficult-to-control asthma.

We understand the importance of identifying and avoiding asthma triggers, which often include allergens, smoke, or respiratory infections. Our comprehensive care includes allergy testing to pinpoint your specific triggers and individualized education on avoidance strategies. For patients with allergic asthma, we offer immunotherapy (allergy shots) as a potential long-term solution to reduce sensitivity to environmental allergens.

We also emphasize non-medication strategies such as maintaining a healthy weight, proper inhaler use, and annual flu vaccinations to minimize complications. Our providers will develop a customized Asthma Action Plan with you, empowering you to monitor symptoms, recognize warning signs, and adjust treatment as needed.

Regular follow-up visits ensure that your asthma management plan remains up-to-date and tailored to any changes in your symptoms or lifestyle. We are committed to helping you breathe easier through expert care, education, and ongoing support.

Immunotherapy is a proven, long-term treatment designed to reduce your sensitivity to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or insect stings. At the Allergy & Asthma Center, Dr. Jon E. Stahlman, MD, administers a series of injections containing gradually increasing amounts of the allergen. Over time, this helps your immune system build a tolerance, resulting in fewer symptoms. Our team will carefully evaluate whether allergy shots are appropriate for your situation. Immunotherapy is often recommended for patients who:

● Experience moderate to severe allergies not well-controlled by medication
● Have significant side effects from allergy medicines
● Prefer to minimize long-term medication use
● Suffer from recurrent sinus infections, asthma symptoms, or frequent absenteeism from work or school due to allergies

Before starting immunotherapy, you’ll undergo comprehensive allergy testing, including skin or blood tests, to pinpoint your specific triggers. Our allergists will review your medical history and current health, as immunotherapy may not be suitable for young children, pregnant women, or those with certain health conditions like severe asthma or heart disease.

Immunotherapy is a commitment—typically involving a build-up phase with frequent injections, followed by a maintenance phase with less frequent visits, often lasting three to five years. While it doesn’t offer immediate relief, many of our patients at the Allergy & Asthma Center experience significant long-term improvement in their allergy and asthma symptoms.

If you’re considering allergy shots, we invite you to schedule a consultation at the Allergy & Asthma Center. Our compassionate team will discuss your symptoms, answer your questions, and help you decide if immunotherapy is the best option for you.
