Our Respiratory Care Services
Asthma and Allergy Management
Our clinic offers comprehensive asthma care for children and adults, including inhaler education, lung function testing, and allergy control. If you experience wheezing, tightness, or seasonal symptoms, our team provides the right combination of medication and environmental management.
We’re proud to offer asthma allergy care as part of our family allergy & asthma care program. From identifying triggers to determining the best way to care for allergies, our team works with each patient to create long-term relief strategies.
If you need fast care, we also provide urgent care for allergies and same-day appointments to control severe reactions before they escalate.
Cough and Upper Respiratory Conditions
A persistent cough can affect your sleep, energy, and comfort. We offer cough care evaluations to determine the cause—whether post-viral, allergic, or related to asthma—and build an appropriate care plan for cough.
If symptoms worsen, such as high fever or chest pain, we recommend seeking urgent care for upper respiratory infection to rule out more serious concerns.
Pneumonia and Recovery Services
We provide thorough pneumonia care for those battling chest infections, including diagnostic imaging, medication guidance, and breathing support. Once symptoms improve, our after-pneumonia care helps prevent recurrence and ensures full lung recovery through a structured pneumonia care plan.
Shortness of Breath and Breathing Disorders
Shortness of breath can signal anything from asthma to cardiovascular issues. Our respiratory care specialist and respiratory doctor provide evaluations, oxygen saturation tests, and follow-up plans to identify the root cause and manage symptoms early.
