Our Services

It can be scary to learn that your child suffers from health problems related to allergies or asthma. That is why we are committed to delivering exceptional allergy and asthma treatment for your child’s health.

Allergy Treatments

Allergy symptoms arise when your child’s immune system believes its body is under attack. The body will treat a common item like a dangerous virus or bacteria and will overreact in an attempt to remove the usually harmless allergen from the system.

Our practice offers comprehensive allergy testing to determine the allergens that affect your child and treatments to provide relief.

Testing
  • Skin testing
  • Blood testing
  • Guided elimination diets
  • Oral food challenges
Treatments
  • Allergy shots
  • Emergency medications, such as auto-injectable epinephrine
  • Eye drops
  • Food elimination
  • Medication
  • Nasal sprays
  • Sinus rinses
  • Topical creams and ointments

Asthma Treatments

Asthma tends to appear in childhood and can last throughout adulthood. An asthma attack happens when there is irritation in the lungs after encountering an asthma-inducing trigger. The airways to the lungs swell, cutting off airflow and making it difficult for your child to breathe.

Airway trouble includes:

  • Inflammation
  • Thick mucus buildup
  • Muscle tightness
Asthma Testing and Management

Our asthma specialists are dedicated to helping you and your child stay ahead of asthma attacks so they can experience easy breathing and peace of mind.

  • We will perform comprehensive breathing tests to determine if your child has asthma or other breathing complications.
  • We will create an asthma care plan designed around your child’s needs, complete with medications and other necessary treatments.
  • We will provide informative resources to help you manage your child’s asthma at home and on the go.

Pediatric immunology focuses on your child’s immune system and its response to certain triggers. Our advanced specialists study your child’s conditions, perform accurate diagnostic testing, and create targeted treatment plans to benefit your child’s immune system, overall health, and quality of life.

No matter how your child’s immune system reacts, the Allied immunology specialists are available to care for all kinds of immunological complications.

Ideally, your child’s immune system should ward off intruders in the body, like harmful bacteria or viruses. When functioning properly, all components of the system work together to fight against the dangers and damages of the microbial world, keeping your child healthy and pain-free.

However, if there are complications with the system’s network of tissues and cells, it can cause improper function. Problems can cause the system not to attack bacteria as strongly. Certain conditions cause the system to become hypersensitive to triggers or even attack healthy cells in the body.

Our advanced specialists study your child’s conditions, perform accurate diagnostic testing, and create targeted treatment plans to benefit your child’s immune system, overall health, and quality of life.

Struggling with breathing or general respiratory complications is hard. We deliver specialized pulmonology care for you or your loved one to help them breathe easily.

Pediatric pulmonology is the specialized treatment of breathing problems in children, teens, and adults. Whether the condition is congenital or developed over time, our pulmonologists will perform thorough testing and use our findings to treat the source of the condition, leading our patients toward better breathing.

Pulmonology Testing Options:

  • Lung volume testing
  • Oxygen saturation testing
  • Spirometry
  • Bronchodilator
  • FeNO

A good night’s sleep is crucial for a child’s healthy development and an adult’s overall health. If you or your loved one struggles to sleep at night, our sleep specialists can help.

Sleep is the body’s chance to recover and reset. Bodily functions, organs, systems, and more require the sleeping period to recharge and regenerate. However, people can experience a range of sleep disorders, including:

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Insomnia
  • Narcolepsy
  • Nightmares and night terrors
  • Periodic limb movement
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Sleep apnea
  • Sleepwalking
  • Sudden awakening

Sleep Testing

Our sleep specialists perform comprehensive sleep evaluations to determine what is interrupting sleep. We then use our findings to create effective treatment plans to resolve the issue and achieve restful sleep.

Testing Options:
  • Sleep Consultation
  • Overnight Sleep Study
