Our Team

The Pediatric Allergy & Immunology Division team consists of highly skilled professionals with years of clinical experience. Since many allergic and immunological disorders are chronic conditions, the team often follows children for many years. The team emphasizes ongoing education of patients and families, teaching early symptom recognition and providing allergy/anaphylaxis care plans or asthma action plans, which are written instructions that allow patients to manage early symptoms of allergies or asthma at home.
