Regarding respiratory issues, Dr. Wong provides a multi-faceted approach to treating patients with nasal (hay fever) issues, sinusitis, asthma, and cough. He recognizes that for many patients with sinus disease, vascular headaches often are an important contributor to the head discomfort. In chronic hives and swelling, Dr. Wong takes a systemic approach to identify contributing factors that can synergize to cause severe symptoms. In treating patients with eczema and other itchy skin conditions, Dr. Wong examines potential aggravating factors, including food/airborne allergen sensitivity, contact sensitivity, irritants, dryness, stress, itch-scratch cycle, and skin infections. For food sensitivity, Dr. Wong attempts to carefully sort out true food sensitivity, intolerance, and misguided information. In patients with immunologic issues, Dr. Wong utilizes both his laboratory and clinical expertise.
