We’re excited to share we have a new website 🌐

Let’s just say… our old website had a good run 😅 It served us well, but it was definitely time for a refresh. Our new site is much more up-to-date, easier to navigate, and designed with you in mind.

You’ll now have easier access to our patient portal, along with important information & resources. Take a moment to check it out—we think you’ll notice the upgrade right away!

Today we had the opportunity to celebrate Sharon and her nearly 15 years at The Allergy and Asthma Center as she begins her retirement 🎉

Over the years, she has been a steady and dependable part of our team, always showing up with a positive attitude and a willingness to help wherever needed 😊

We are grateful for the time, care, and commitment she has given to both our patients and our staff. Her presence will certainly be missed around the office ❤️

Please join us in thanking Sharon for her years of service and wishing her all the best in this next chapter 🎊

We are here for you if it's not going so well. 😉😬

🎄 Is Your Christmas Tree Making You Sneeze? 🤧
You might be experiencing Christmas Tree Syndrome!

Christmas Tree Syndrome happens when allergy symptoms—like sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing, or wheezing—start after bringing a real or artificial tree into your home. While true pine allergies are rare, trees can carry mold, dust, and pollen that build up during storage or while growing outdoors. Even the pine scent can irritate sensitive sinuses and lungs.

✨ Tips to reduce symptoms:
✅ Rinse real trees with water and let them dry before bringing inside
✅ Wipe down artificial trees before decorating
✅ Keep your tree in a cooler area away from heating vents
✅ Run an air purifier
✅ If you’re symptomatic, allergy meds may help—check with your provider

If holiday allergies are stealing your cheer, we’re here to help you breathe easier this season! 🎅❄️
📞 Call our office or message us through the patient portal.
