The Allergy and Asthma Diagnostic Office has been in practice since 1988. We have more than thirty years experience building strong relationships between patients, doctors and staff. We pride ourselves on using the newest advanced techniques in the fields of allergies, asthma and immunology. Our allergy practice was involved in clinical research studies for many years which put us on the front line of the latest treatments.
We have approximately 14,000 existing patients from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Patients of all severity are seen from infancy to the age of 60. We see approximately 1,500 new patients per year with approximately 1/3 being medication naïve. Of these patients, 90% have asthma and/or allergic rhinitis, and the other 10% of patients have various skin conditions. Our allergic rhinitis patients are evenly divided into seasonal, perennial and mixed. Many of these patients receive immunotherapy injections. Our patient compliance is very high.
Dr. Juan Sotomayor is Board Certified in Allergy & Immunology and Pediatrics and is a Pediatric Pulmonary Specialist. We also have four Certified Family Health Nurse Practitioners. Our nurses are responsible for the allergy testing, immunotherapy injections, phone triage, and patient education. We have four Respiratory Therapists who do pulmonary function testing, provide asthma education, and instruct patients on the proper use of spacers and peak flow meters. Our support staff is always eager to help facilitate your visit and make it a positive experience for all.
