Family ENT, Allergy & Asthma Center’s Allergy & Immunology specialists, Dr. Nasim Reedy and Dr. Sudhir Sekhsaria, offer advanced care for complex immunological conditions.
Angioedema
Sudden, severe swelling of the skin and mucous membranes characterizes angioedema. This potentially dangerous condition requires expert management.
- Idiopathic angioedema often baffles patients and doctors alike. Our team excels at unraveling these medical mysteries, employing advanced diagnostic techniques to identify potential triggers and develop effective treatment strategies.
- Hereditary angioedema, passed down through families, can cause recurrent and sometimes life-threatening swelling episodes. Genetic counseling forms a crucial part of our approach, alongside cutting-edge therapies designed to prevent or rapidly treat acute attacks.
- Acquired Angioedema requires us to dig deep to uncover underlying health issues or medication interactions that may be responsible. By addressing these root causes, we help patients regain control over their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Eosinophilic Disorders
When eosinophils, typically helpful white blood cells, accumulate excessively in tissues, they can wreak havoc on various organ systems. Our practice specializes in diagnosing and treating these often-misunderstood conditions.
- Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) can turn the simple act of swallowing into a painful ordeal. Through a combination of advanced diagnostics, dietary interventions, and targeted medications, we help patients find relief and enjoy meals again.
- Patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis often suffer from a range of distressing gastrointestinal symptoms. Our team’s expertise in this area allows us to pinpoint the affected areas of the GI tract and tailor treatments accordingly, bringing comfort to those who’ve long struggled with unexplained digestive issues.
- Hypereosinophilic syndrome, a rare and potentially severe condition, demands swift and precise intervention. We employ a multifaceted approach, combining cutting-edge treatments to control eosinophil levels with vigilant monitoring to prevent organ damage.
Recurring Infections
Frequent illnesses can signal underlying immune system dysfunction. Our specialists are adept at uncovering and addressing these hidden vulnerabilities.
- Primary immunodeficiency disorders encompass a vast array of conditions, each with its unique challenges. We meticulously evaluate each patient’s immune function, crafting individualized treatment plans that may include immunoglobulin replacement therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, or even groundbreaking gene therapies in some cases.
- Selective antibody deficiency can leave patients vulnerable to specific types of infections. Our team’s approach combines targeted interventions to bolster immune defenses with strategies to minimize exposure to problem pathogens.
- While selective IgA deficiency is relatively common, its management requires nuanced care. We educate patients on practical steps to reduce infection risk while monitoring for potential complications, ensuring they can lead full, active lives despite this immune system quirk.
At Family ENT, Allergy & Asthma Center, we’re committed to unraveling the complexities of the immune system. Through personalized care and ongoing support, we help patients with even the most challenging immunological disorders achieve better health and improved quality of life.
