Our medical practice is a group practice. This means that each patient in the practice is a patient of our group as well as a patient of each individual physician.

The Asthma Center physicians have common approaches to patient care. While our individual personalities may vary, our practice of medicine is quite uniform from physician to physician. This approach ensures continuity of care regardless of which physician is available. This approach also provides for continuous and consistent on-call emergency service for weekends and holidays. Finally it allows each patient to eventually get the benefit of the cumulative knowledge of the group which will always be greater than any single physician.

In the event that a patient would prefer to see a specific physician in our group, he/she may make a request to the nurse that brings them to the examining room. We can usually honor such a request, but this may at times require an extended wait for the specific physician. Although the office schedule can be checked for a specific physician in advance of a visit, it is no guarantee that the physician will be present on the day of your visit or that the physician will be able to accommodate the specific request even if he/she is present due to certain unanticipated events. Under these circumstances, we ask for our patients’ cooperation and understanding by seeing any physician of The Asthma Center that is available.
