Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Allergy & Immunology care with Dr. Stacy Nassau:

What is an Allergist / Immunologist?

An allergist/immunologist is a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the immune system, including allergies and immunodeficiencies. They help identify triggers and develop strategies to prevent reactions and manage symptoms effectively.

What can I expect during my first allergy consultation with Dr. Stacy Nassau?

Your first consultation with Dr. Nassau will be a detailed detective process, focusing on a thorough history of your symptoms, potential exposures, and family history. This will help pinpoint specific triggers, and may include diagnostic tests, like skin testing, to create a personalized prevention plan.

I have asthma. How can an allergist help prevent attacks?

Dr. Nassau understands the strong link between allergies and asthma. By identifying and treating underlying allergic triggers, she can significantly reduce asthma flare-ups. Pulmonary function testing helps create a personalized Asthma Action Plan for prevention.

Are there alternatives to allergy shots?

Yes, for some environmental allergies like grass and ragweed pollen, there are under-the-tongue tablets or drops (sublingual immunotherapy) that can be taken at home. Dr. Nassau can discuss if this is a suitable prevention option for you.

What is anaphylaxis and how can I prevent it?

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. Prevention involves strict avoidance of known triggers, carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, and having a clear Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan, which Dr. Nassau will help create.

If I am allergic to one type of nut, do I have to avoid all nuts?

It's a common and important question. An allergy to one tree nut increases the risk of allergies to other tree nuts, but it's not certain. Dr. Nassau can perform specific testing to identify which nuts you can safely eat.

Can my child outgrow a food allergy?

While some food allergies, like milk, egg, and wheat, can resolve with time, allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and seafood are less likely to be outgrown. Dr. Nassau can monitor this with testing and perform an oral food challenge when appropriate.

What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)?

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a condition where mast cells, a type of immune cell, become overactive and release chemicals that cause allergy-like symptoms throughout the body. Dr. Nassau is a specialist who can diagnose and manage this complex condition to help prevent symptoms.
