Allergy/Immunology

Allergy specialists offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for both adults and children. Although the most effective treatment for allergies is eliminating or decreasing exposure to the allergen, medications, such as long-acting antihistamines, may be helpful. In some cases, allergy shots or allergen vaccines may be necessary to bring symptoms under control.

Hospitalist

Hospitalist is a new kind of specialist who is making life easier for both patients and doctors. For years, physicians have scrambled between seeing their patients in the office and following them in the hospital. Now, the hospitalist follows patients during their hospital stay, returning them to their primary physician’s care after discharge. This makes medical care more efficient. Inpatients have someone to address their immediate, ongoing needs while they are in the hospital. Outpatients needn’t worry about office visits being delayed or rescheduled when their primary care physician has to go back and forth to the hospital to check on patients
