Some issues Dr. William L. Hall JR., MD can help you with:

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic lung disease where the tissue and airways of the lungs become extremely sensitive to certain substances. When these substances are breathed in, the lungs become inflamed. The muscles around the airways tighten and squeeze the lungs, and passages within the lungs swell and tighten. The airways themselves produce mucus, which further clogs the tightened, swollen airways. A person having an asthma attack finds it very difficult to breathe, and a severe attack can even be fatal.

Asthma affects people of all ages, but people with asthma are most often diagnosed as children. Symptoms can include wheezing, a tight feeling in the chest, shortness of breath, and coughing. Some people have mild symptoms all the time, and some people have no symptoms at all, but everyone with asthma is susceptible to occasional severe attacks or flare-ups of symptoms when they are exposed to triggers. Triggers vary widely but can include:

Allergens (dust mites, pet fur, mold, pollen, grass)
Irritants (smoke, pollution, dust, chemicals)
Viral infections
Physical activity, especially outdoors
Certain medications or chemicals in foods (aspirin, sulfites)

Treatment for most asthma patients involves three steps. Patients learn what their asthma triggers are and avoid them. They take a daily control medication, usually an inhaled corticosteroid, to reduce inflammation in the lungs. Also, they have rescue medication with them at all times to take in case of a severe attack. These quick-acting inhaled medications relax the muscles around the airways and allow the lungs to open up for air.

There is no cure for asthma, but with treatment it should not interfere with daily life and activities.

Depression

Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."

Some common symptoms of depression include:

Feeling sad, guilty, empty or hopeless
Fatigue and a lack of energy and motivation
A loss of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
Unusual sleep or eating habits
Mental fog -- trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
Physical aches and pains
Suicidal thoughts or a preoccupation with death

We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.

Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.

The only problem I had was at the very beginning of the process, when I called Froedtert's general line to see If I could get an appointment with Dr. Hall. I've been a patient of his for almost 20 years, but I hadn't yet registered with Froedtert, so I was considered a "new patient." The person on the phone told me there was nothing she could do, since Dr. Hall Isn't taking new patients, but when I went to the clinic myself and asked in person, the front desk person was very helpful and put in an authorization request right away. I'd suggest that the people who handle the centralized phones need a bit more training for situations like mine - all she needed to do was to tell me that I could get authorization by visiting the clinic myself, but she evidently didn't know to do that. Again, everyone at the clinic in Shorewood was great, including front desk, nurse, and doctor.

My first meeting with Dr. William Hall was everything I'd hoped for. He was easy to converse with, informative, through. He took the time to listen and ask questions to get a better understanding of my recent heart surgery / rehab and concerns. I couldn't be happier with this first meeting and look forward to continuing to have him as my Primary Health doctor In the future.

Biography

I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area but am now a full-fledged Wisconsinite of over 30 years. I am married with 4 children. I enjoy spending time with family, travel, running, hiking, nature, sports (especially Brewers). My favorite part of being a family doctor is interacting with patients and families and hearing their stories, as everyone has a unique journey in health and in life. I enjoy teaming up with patients to navigate a path towards achieving their health goals, so they can get the most out of life and pursue their passions. I am a huge believer in lifestyle modifications for both prevention and treatment of health issues.
