Meet our Allergy, Asthma and Immunology specialists at the Children's Hospital of Michigan.

The Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Division at Children’s Hospital of Michigan at the Detroit Medical Center has a long history of excellence in care for asthmatic, allergic and immune deficient children.

The division offers evaluation and treatment for asthma and a wide range of allergies, including food allergy, environmental allergy, drug and vaccine allergy, insect sting allergy, angioedema, anaphylaxis, hives, eczema and other allergic skin conditions. Advance treatment plans are available for your specific conditions including allergen immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody treatment. A multidisciplinary clinic with Pediatric Gastroenterology is also offered for evaluation and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis.

The high risk asthma clinic is supported by a grant from Children’s Hospital Foundation offering medical and psychosocial support to children with severe and/or high risk asthma. Research studies with emphasis on assistance with adherence to medication and identification of stressors that influence asthma are available to those clients, and any other interested families with asthmatics.

The asthma and allergy physicians on the medical staff and asthma nurse educators see every asthmatic patient admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. This assures that all asthmatic children and families are offered the highest standard of care for their asthma, with particular emphasis to follow-up daily care, education, and action planning.
