We offer allergen skin testing, spirometry, patch testing, food challenges, and immunotherapy ("allergy shots"). We work together with all specialties in the care of your child, including Pulmonary, Otorhinolaryngology ("Ear Nose Throat"), GI, Radiology, and others.
Immunology

Though this clinic is located in the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH) space, we care for both adults and children who need diagnosis or treatment for these disorders. Starting in November, 2015, we plan to offer a new clinic at LPCH for pediatric and adult patients who have overlap between immunodeficiency and autoimmune/autoinflammatory disorders
We offer thorough testing and clinical evaluation, including laboratory testing for immunological function. We will coordinate care with your primary care doctor and with other specialists including doctors from Pediatric or Adult Pulmonary, GI, Infectious Disease, Radiology, Stem Cell Transplant, and Otorhinolaryngology.
