Welcome to North Texas Allergy & Asthma Associates
!!
We are honored that you chose our clinic for your medical needs
and please be reassured that we strive to provide you with personalized
and excellent health care. Our emphasis involves intertwining education,
medication, and proven medical modalities to take care of your allergic
disorders. We specialize in the treatment of nasal allergies, asthma,
eye allergy, sinus disease, and allergic skin disorders. We look
forward to working with you in taking care of your allergy related
disorders for years to come. In fact our center can trace it roots
back to the 1930’s (1927 to be exact).
Your initial visit to our office involves a comprehensive evaluation
focused on your major health concerns. This will take about 30-60
minutes. After evaluation, we may perform additional tests –
which may include allergy skin testing, patch testing, rhinoscopy
(looking at your nose under fiber optic camera), laboratory tests,
office spirometry, and/or x-ray studies in order to come to an accurate
diagnosis.
Every effort will be made to explain the tentative diagnosis and
initial plan during the first visit. Most of the time, the information
available at the follow up visit is necessary to make the diagnosis
and establish the treatment program. Please ask questions about
anything that you do not understand. Many people find it helpful
to bring a written list of questions.
If you are a new patient and plan to be seen in our office we ask
that you take the following steps before your appointment with us.
-
Do not take any kind of anti-histamines (prescription or non-prescription)
5 to 7 days before your scheduled appointment. If you feel that

office.
