Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that narrows the airways and makes breathing harder. Roughly 27 million people in the United States live with it — including one in three children. Our board-certified specialists provide personalized care, from diagnosis to your own asthma action plan.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions in children — and kids can't always describe what they're feeling. Frequent coughing (especially at night), wheezing, or getting winded faster than other kids can all be signs. We provide kid-friendly evaluation and long-term management from infancy through the teen years, and work with parents on an action plan for home, school, and sports.
Coughing, wheezing, or chest tightness during or shortly after physical activity may be exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. The goal isn't to stop moving — it's to keep activity on the table. Evaluation can help confirm what's happening, and a plan may include pre-exercise medication and warm-up strategies designed to help you stay active.
Symptoms that flare at work and ease on days off can point to a workplace exposure — dust, fumes, chemicals, or agricultural triggers common in the Valley. We evaluate the connection, help document it, and work with you on a management plan that accounts for your job.
