Information may not be reliable

Dr. DeYarman and the staff at DeYarman Allergy & Asthma Clinic are happy to have the privilege of helping you gain control of your allergy conditions. We are committed to providing personalized state of the art care to help you achieve your goals. We value our relationship with you and understand the importance of effective communication and education in delivering quality medical care. Our office is completely computerized to further facilitate your medical care.

We realize each of you has different problems that require different solutions. We will listen carefully to your history and review any prior evaluations and then will discuss our initial impression with you including the different options for evaluation and treatment pertinent to your medical problems and your goals. These may range from very conservative treatment to more aggressive treatment options. All of our recommendations will be given to you as a typed summary at each office visit. These will include not only your routine recommendations to manage your allergic problems but also our recommendations for monitoring changes in your health and appropriate interventions you may make to regain control if your symptoms do flare. Though we will, of course, see you if your allergies or asthma flare, our goal is to keep you well with preventative measures and minimize your need for emergent medical care. We would like to equip you with the educational and medical tools to ultimately manage your allergic problems on your own.

WiFi now available!!!
We've added a WiFi connection in our office. Patients rarely have to wait in our office for appointments but those on allergy shots do need to wait for 30 minutes after their injection. Now with WiFi you can use your laptop to cruise around the internet while you wait. You should connect automatically but if not, ask us how to do it. Waiting in medical offices is no fun at all. Hopefully this will make the time pass quickly. It certainly beats reading old National Geographics though actually our magazine selection is pretty good.

A Great Article about Food Allergy Tests
Allergy tests for foods seem to be everywhere these days. They are easy to order. The problem is what to do with the results. We see patients every day with copies of lab tests for food allergies showing many positives but no idea what to do with the results. This can be confusing not all "positive" tests have clinical significance (not all positive tests mean the patient will have a reaction when they eat the food. This article in the Wall Street Journal is a good review of this increasingly common dilemna and is written in non scientific language. It's worth reading if you have had or are contemplating any type of food allergy evaluation.
