Asthma
More than 22 million Americans suffer from asthma, and childhood asthma in particular is on the rise. Symptoms of an asthma attack can be frightening and may include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
The Department of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology provides individualized treatment for asthma sufferers, allowing them to lead full and active lives. Our physicians are nationally and locally recognized leaders in the treatment and research of asthma.
Dr. David Skoner and Dr. Deborah Gentile lead the Center for Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. They can be reached at 412.359.6640.
Care is offered in several convenient locations. Patients are evaluated and treated using specialized education and testing.
