As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Syed offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Asthma: Asthma makes breathing difficult due to inflamed airways, and an allergist/immunologist can identify triggers like allergens and create a treatment plan.
- Chronic Sinusitis: If your sinuses are constantly inflamed, causing stuffiness and pain, an allergist/immunologist can diagnose chronic sinusitis and develop a treatment plan.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): If you have COPD, an allergist/immunologist may help assess for triggers that worsen your symptoms, such as environmental allergens, and recommend treatment strategies.
- Sinusitis: Suffering from sinus pain and pressure? An allergist/immunologist can test for allergies that might be triggering your sinusitis and recommend appropriate treatment.
- Eczema and Contact Dermatitis Due to Detergents: If your skin reacts badly to detergents, developing eczema or contact dermatitis, seeing an allergist can help determine the cause and provide effective management strategies, such as identifying safer alternatives.
- Latex Allergy: If you have a latex allergy, your body's immune system overreacts to latex, leading to symptoms ranging from mild skin irritation to severe breathing problems; an allergist can diagnose this and recommend avoidance strategies or other treatments.
- Acute Sinusitis: When your sinuses get inflamed and infected, it's called acute sinusitis; an allergist/immunologist can help diagnose the cause and provide relief from symptoms.
- Bronchitis: Bronchitis can be complicated by allergies and asthma. An allergist/immunologist can help diagnose and treat these underlying conditions, potentially improving your bronchitis symptoms.
- Allergic Reaction: An allergic reaction is an immune response to something you're sensitive to, causing symptoms that can range from mild discomfort to a life-threatening emergency; an allergist can perform tests to determine the cause and provide effective treatment.
- Pollen Allergy: Pollen allergy is a reaction to airborne pollen that causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, and an allergist can help identify the specific pollen causing your allergy and recommend treatments.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis is a type of allergy affecting your nose and causing symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose; an allergist helps determine the cause and manage your symptoms.
- Eczema and Contact Dermatitis: Eczema is chronic, and contact dermatitis is triggered by contact with an irritant or allergen; an allergist helps you manage symptoms and avoid future reactions.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

- Radioallergosorbent Test: This blood test measures the amount of antibodies to specific allergens in your blood, helping your doctor determine your allergies.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Allergy & Immunology care with Dr. Syed:
- What is the difference between an allergy and a food intolerance?
- Dr. Syed can differentiate between allergies and food intolerances. An allergy is a serious immune system reaction, potentially life-threatening, while a food intolerance typically causes digestive issues like gas or bloating. Dr. Syed performs tests to confirm a true allergy diagnosis.
- Should I stop taking my allergy medication before my appointment for testing?
- For accurate skin testing, Dr. Syed needs you to stop taking antihistamines like Zyrtec, Claritin, or Allegra for several days beforehand. Please call our office to discuss which medications to hold and for how long before your visit.
- What is patch testing used for?
- Patch testing helps identify the causes of delayed allergic reactions, like contact dermatitis, unlike skin prick testing. Dr. Syed uses this test to find triggers such as nickel, fragrances, and preservatives in lotions. The test involves wearing patches on the back for 48 hours to identify potential allergens.
- Do you treat immune deficiencies?
- Yes, Dr. Syed's practice specializes in diagnosing and managing primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD). If you or your child experience frequent, severe, or unusual infections, he can conduct specialized testing and manage treatments like immunoglobulin therapy.
- My child has a food allergy. What are the chances they will outgrow it?
- Many children outgrow allergies to milk, egg, soy, and wheat, but allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are often lifelong. Dr. Syed can monitor your child's condition with testing and may perform a supervised oral food challenge when appropriate.
- What does an allergy skin test feel like? Does it hurt?
- Dr. Syed will perform a series of small pricks on your skin, typically on your back or arm. This is generally not painful, feeling like a light scratch. A positive reaction will cause a small, itchy bump, similar to a mosquito bite, which helps identify the allergy.
- Can a persistent cough be a sign of asthma?
- Yes. A chronic cough, especially one worse at night, with exercise, or during a cold, can be a primary symptom of cough-variant asthma. Dr. Syed can perform breathing tests (spirometry) to determine if asthma is the cause of your cough.
- How do allergy shots (immunotherapy) work?
- Dr. Syed's allergy shots, or immunotherapy, are a long-term treatment that gradually trains your immune system to tolerate allergens. Regular injections with increasing amounts of the allergen help your body build tolerance, reducing symptoms over time.
