Is it Just an Allergy?

Larkin Outpatient Multi-Specialty Center can help you find out.

Diagnosis and Treatment  For Allergy, Asthma and Immunology 

A division of Larkin Community Hospital was established as the Allergy, Asthma and Immunology specialty clinic providing service at two locations with clinics in South Miami and Palm Springs (Hialeah) campuses. Our goal is to provide patients with evidence based comprehensive care in diagnosing and treating all allergic and immunologic diseases.

Allergists specialize in diseases of the immune system. These include asthma, all types of allergies, and various other problems of the immune system. Allergists can also treat your symptoms with immune agents that help control your symptoms, or may even eliminate them! We are able to provide allergen Immunotherapy, a process in which we teach your immune system to naturally reduce its symptoms and help you get off medicati ons.

When should I see an Allergist?

Anytime! especially if you suspect you may be allergic to something such as food, pollens, dust, or medications. Also if you suspect you have one of the various kinds of asthma, which may be caused from your pets, outdoor environment, or even exercise.
