Everyone here was very nice and professional. My 6 year old son had to have an allergy test done. The nurse that did it was very quick and patient with him. Even the doctor was nice and patient with him...don't find that too often. I would totally send a friend or family here!

General Practitioners

Arthritis
Identifying and treating underlying conditions. In many cases, skin conditions are symptoms of a deeper problem. Atopic dermatitis, for example, has been linked to irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune issues. Working with a primary care provider to address these systemic issues can improve your skin health.
Sinusitis
Health care experts estimate that 37 million Americans are affected by sinusitis every year. Health care workers report 33 million cases of chronic sinusitis to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention annually. Americans spend millions of dollars each year for medications that promise relief from their sinus symptoms.
Medical Weight Loss
The symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis often present themselves differently in children as compared to adults. Children with may have trouble feeding or eating, depending on their age, which can potentially lead to limited growth, malnutrition and weight loss. They may also experience vomiting as a result of the disease.
Nutritional Counseling
Pediatric Care
Asthma can affect people of any age, but it develops most often during childhood.Â If you have a family history of allergies or asthma, you are also more likely to develop the condition.Â Many of the asthma patients we treat at Carolina Asthma and Allergy Center are young children.Â Our physicians are skilled at working closely with children (many also have Board Certification in Pediatrics) and their caregivers to educate them on their condition and individual treatment plan, as well as what to do if an emergency arises.
Primary Care
Ear Infections
PIDDs are characterized by recurring, severe and difficult to treat infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, sinusitis, meningitis, and skin infections. If you have a family history of PIDD, you should be especially attentive to symptoms including...
Emergency Care
These unpleasant symptoms may be red flags that you have vocal cord dysfunction. This disorder results from the vocal cords closing when theyâ€™re supposed to stay open. As a result, you may have trouble breathing and experience episodes requiring emergency care.
Constipation
Infectious Diseases
Scientific studies have shown a close relationship between having allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. In fact, some studies state that up to 80 percent of adults with chronic sinusitis also had allergic rhinitis. There is also an association between asthma and sinusitis. Some researchers think that as many as 75 percent of people with asthma also get sinusitis. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) conducts and supports research on allergic diseases as well as bacteria and fungus that can cause sinusitis. This research is focused on developing better treatments and ways to prevent these diseases.
Flu Shots
Our staff makes it easy for you to set up an appointment for asthma treatment,Â an allergy assessment, allergy treatment, immunotherapy Â such as allergy shots, or consultations for other needs, such as flu shots. Our Matthews location is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Our shot-room is also open those four days.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
In addition, if you have celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or other digestive disorders, you may be more prone to having food sensitivities.
Bronchitis
Diarrhea
Pneumonia
Immunizations
In addition, your allergist will discuss management techniques to prevent exacerbations from occurring. This may include avoiding exposure, keeping up healthy habits, getting an annual flu vaccination, and using a range of medications. Also, you may be referred to a pulmonologist for additional COPD care & treatment since they focus more on this.

Ophthalmologists

Eye Exam
Doctors recognize allergic conjunctivitis by its typical symptoms and appearance. If you are suffering from allergic pink eye, an eye examination will likely reveal redness in the white of your eye and small bumps inside your eyelids. An eye examination will also help your doctor rule out bacterial and viral conjunctivitis.Â

Endoscopy
The upper endoscopy will allow the doctor to inspect the esophagus for signs of eosinophilic esophagitis, which include white spots, swelling, horizontal rings and more. Itâ€™s possible for the esophagus to look normal, in which case the doctor may want to take a biopsy of the esophagus during the endoscopy.
Lung Cancer
Over time, lungs that are exposed to irritants lose important elasticity for proper breathing, resulting in symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. These symptoms get progressively worse without treatment. In addition, COPD can lead to more serious complications, including lung cancer, heart disease, and depression.

Depression

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
Hormonal changes. Pregnancy and menstruation can cause nonallergic rhinitis. Hypothyroidism, a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland doesnâ€™t produce enough thyroid hormone, can also lead to nasal congestion.
Thyroid

MRI
Your doctor can diagnose sinusitis by listening to your symptoms, doing a physical examination, and taking X-rays, and if necessary, an MRI or CT scan (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography).
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
In addition, a doctor might perform tests to rule out other conditions, including X-rays, CT scans, arterial blood gas tests, and lab tests.
Chemotherapy

Eczema
Eczema is a rash that impacts one in 10 individuals during their lifetime. For those with eczema, skin may become red and swollen, dry and scaly, or have crusty sores or blisters. Itâ€™s also extremely itchy, which can make the rash grow or last longer.Â
Fungus
Lesions
Donâ€™t despair. Youâ€™re not alone. Approximately 20%Â of the population will have hives (urticaria) at oneÂ time or another during their lifetime.Â First off, are you sure that theyâ€™reÂ really hives? True hives are red,Â itchy, usually raised lesions that lookÂ very much like mosquito bites. TheyÂ are often round or oval but can be Â irregularly shaped. Their size mayÂ vary from Â¼ inch to several inchesÂ in diameter. They may blendÂ together. Each spot lasts anywhereÂ from 4-36 hours and is surroundedÂ by normal looking skin. As theyÂ resolve the skin looks normal, notÂ flaky or rough. While the hives areÂ present one spot will be resolvingÂ while another nearby is developing.Â In about 40% of cases localized swelling (angioedema) of the lips, eyelids, hands, feet or tongue also occurs.
Rashes
Skin Care
Adopting a skin-care routine. Regularly applying moisturizer to your skin can combat much of the dryness associated with conditions like atopic dermatitis.
Psoriasis
While both eczema and psoriasis cause skin rashes, they differ in appearance and triggers. With psoriasis, itchiness may sting and the rash may be thicker and more inflamed. Psoriasis may also be triggered by sunburn or a recent vaccination. On the other hand, eczema is extremely itchy and may look swollen, scaly or crusty. Eczema may be triggered by a wide range of irritants, such as chemicals or allergens. Another telling sign? Psoriasis is rare in babies and young children, while eczema is quite common.

Allergies
Carolina Asthma and Allergy Center has been proudly serving residents in and around the Charlotte area since 1952. With a talented and professional staff made up exclusively of physicians who are board certified by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology, Carolina Asthma and Allergy Center offer expertise in insect allergy testing, preventative medicine and more.Â Both skin tests and blood tests can be performed by our licensed medical professionals to detect allergies to stinging insects â€“ such as yellow jacket, hornets, wasps, bees and fire ants â€“ that will allow us to create an effective treatment plan.
