What's Wrong with my Doctor????

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm fairly new to the Xolair group and am suffering tremdously

from my allergies and asmatha. So, anyway, I asked my allergist about

Xolair and he said it's not even on the market yet!! What a bunch of

crap! This weekend I had to go to the ER for a flare up, and the doc

at the hospital said i should see a ENT or a pumologist (sp?). Does

anyone know of a good one in Baltimore, MD? I'm going to check with

my pediatrician, but maybe someone in the area might know. Thanks

guys!

OOPS, I read your other post first and replied to it. Yes, I would

say it's time to look for another doc. He doesn't even know about

Xolair yet? Where has he been? It has been out for over a year and

many of us are reaping the benefits.

I wish I could reccommend a doc in maryland but alas, I live in

Arkansas The hospital staff is correct. Your family doctor or

pediatrician should be able to reccommend you another good specialist.

Let us know what you find out and how you are doing. We are a close

group here and care about each other Glad to have you aboard

Hi, welcome to the group!

s Hopkins has one of the leading allergy/asthma programs in the

country at the university med center. If your insurance will cover

it you need to try to get in with them. The lead doc at my pulmonary

practice studied there and regularly sends their allergy shot nurse

to trainings there. As a result, they offer both pulmonary and

allergy at this practice and hire docs who did rotations in both for

the practice. I have been very happy with the care I have gotten in

this practice. If I were in the Baltimore area I would go to Hopkins.

Take care,

Addy
