We are able to care for patients from early childhood to the elderly with a range of uncomplicated to the complex medical issues faced today.

Important News

Ragweed season is here! In the late summer and through the fall most of the pollen is due to weeds. You can see giant ragweed plants growing on the side of the roads all over Connecticut. Mold spores are also in the air, especially after rainstorms.

Common symptoms allergy sufferers have may include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and nose, stuffy nose, post nasal drip, wheezing, tight chest and shortness of breath.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it is time to make an appointment at our office so that you can get quick relief and do not need to suffer throughout the entire allergy season. Over-the-counter allergy medications are fine for mild allergies, however much more effective medications are available by prescription.

MEDICAL FORMS FOR SCHOOL

Children going back to school often need forms filled out for any allergy or asthma medications they are taking. If you need these forms filled out, please schedule an office visit and bring in the forms and we can fill them out the same day. If you do not have the forms, we have generic forms in the office which most schools will accept.
