"I will never go to anyone at this office. Both appointments that I had with this physician were unsatisfactory to say the least. The first, he “ordered” a blood test for me but when I went to get it, it was not in the system. Thankfully another one of my doctors ordered the same test. On top of it, he never followed up with me to see if I received results. The second time, I went in and got tests done. They were done at his office and usually are able to have a result back within minutes but “their lab wasn’t available at that time.” So they were apparently sent and I was supposed to get a call back 3 days later. 1 month and no calls back I got sick again. Mind you, I called twice and left messages with reception to get my tests back and still nothing. I finally had him paged and his response was “oh you didn’t get results? That’s unusual. Well I’m not in the office so you can call on Monday (this was on Friday). I ended up having to go to urgent care and pay to get results I should have already gotten. Most unprofessional office. "

What is Allergy & Immunology?

A physician who specializes in allergies, asthma, and other disorders of the immune system is called an allergist-immunologist or simply an allergist. Allergic reactions can cause a huge number of symptoms in the body, and allergy-immunology specialists treat a wide variety of problems, including:

Allergies affecting the respiratory tract, such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or asthma.
Allergies affecting the skin, such as eczema, hives, welts, and allergic rashes.
Adverse reactions to substances such as foods, drugs and vaccines, or stinging insects.
Autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. Some examples are rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system attacks the joints; celiac disease, where the lining of the small intestine is damaged; and Sjogren's syndrome, where the glands producing tears and saliva are attacked.
Certain diseases of the immune system, such as antibody deficiencies, primary immunodeficiency disease, or in some cases, HIV.

During a visit to an allergist-immunologist, the physician may perform allergy testing to identify which substances are causing the allergic reactions. An important part of the care they provide is prevention education, where patients with allergies learn how to decrease their exposure to problematic substances and control their symptoms of allergic reaction. Allergists might prescribe medication, such as inhaled corticosteroids or beta agonists for asthma. They may also provide immunotherapy, where small amounts of the problem allergen are given via injection to the patient and the amount is increased slowly over time. The shots help the body get used to the allergen and train the immune system to react appropriately to it without causing problem symptoms.

Immune disorders can range from making patients uncomfortable to being life-threatening, and they are becoming more common. Allergy-Immunology is a quickly growing field.
