Sierra Allergy Asthma and Sinus Center specializes in providing individualized asthma treatment plans for patients in Fresno and Merced. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced diagnostics, evidence-based therapies, and patient education to manage and control asthma effectively.
Comprehensive asthma management strategies
Accurate diagnosis and assessment Effective asthma treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. We utilize: Spirometry / Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) These tests measure lung function to assess the severity of asthma and monitor treatment efficacy. Allergy Testing Identifying specific allergens helps tailor avoidance strategies and treatment plans. 
Medication management in Merced and Fresno
Our treatment protocols include: Controller Medications Inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators reduce airway inflammation and prevent symptoms. Quick-Relief Medications Short-acting bronchodilators provide immediate relief during asthma attacks. Biologic Therapies For patients with severe asthma who are unresponsive to standard treatments, biologics target specific pathways in the immune system to control symptoms.
