Expert Care for Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Concerns
Treating scraped knees, bruises, and the occasional cold are a standard part of parenting — nothing a few bandages, tissues, and kisses can’t make "all better." But when recurring symptoms like wheezing, mysterious rashes, or unexpected reactions to certain foods or bug bites present themselves, it’s not always easy to know what’s cause for concern and what isn’t.
As a partner in your child’s total wellness, the pediatric allergy and immunology specialists at AdventHealth are here to help you and your primary-care team get to the root of the problem, whether it’s asthma, a drug or food allergy, or an immunodeficiency disorder. By uncovering the underlying cause, we’re able to develop a targeted treatment plan to help you and your family manage and overcome a wide range of pediatric allergies and immunodeficiency disorders.

When your child is diagnosed with an allergy or immune disorder, it’s easy to feel obsessed with “what ifs.” What if the classmate who sits next to your son has peanut butter and jelly for lunch every day? What if your daughter gets stung by a bee during recess? What if the teammate who just high-fived your little soccer star has a cold?
Our team of pediatric allergy and immunology specialists are here to help you anticipate and prepare for every “what if” through a combination of extensive education and the right kind of treatment — whether it’s avoiding certain foods and allergens, taking specific medications or therapies, or making sure you have access to life-saving medication such as an epinephrine. Between visits, our pediatric allergists and immunologists are always here to answer any questions, talk through your concerns, and keep you up-to-date on the latest advances and breakthroughs.
