Allergy, sinus infections, and asthma affect a greater proportion of the population each year. Billions are spent annually on doctor visits and medications and yet surveys show patients are increasingly  frustrated and looking for new answers. Why is this, when there are more and better  treatment options available today than ever before?

The answers are not simple, and they require a well conceived approach between an experienced physician and a knowledgeable patient. More than anything else, what you can do to improve your results is become educated about allergies. ENT Carolina has constructed a website to empower you to do just that.  Take a few minutes to read the following articles and then use the links as resources to find the additional information you need.  We continually update the site to keep new information available. 

This presentation covers:

• What’s Your Problem?

• Your Doctor Visit:
  • Why Patients are so Frustrated:
  • Allergy Testing:
• Environmental Control (to be written in the near future)
• Allergy Medication Overview:
