What happens at a clinic visit?
At your first clinic visit, you will be seen by an allergist who will record a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination. Allergy tests may be done either by the skin method (a series of small skin pricks) or by a special blood test. If necessary, a breathing test to measure lung capacity and function will be performed.
After the interview, examination and test results are available, we will discuss a detailed plan of treatment with you. We make every effort to complete this process at the first visit, which may take from one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the problem.
Who will I see?
You will be seen by a board-certified allergist or a nurse practitioner. Our allergists are on the faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin. They work with and train fellows (pediatricians and internists who are training to become allergists/immunologists), pediatric residents, internal medicine residents and medical students. Since Children's Hospital is a teaching institution, fellows, residents and students can be involved with your care. The care they provide is supervised and coordinated by the faculty.
Residents/Fellows:
Children's Hospital is a teaching hospital and many of our specialists train other doctors to care for kids. In addition to your child's main doctor, you may see the following:
- Medical students who are training to be doctors.
- Residents who are doctors specializing in pediatrics.
- Fellows have completed a residency and are training in another specialty.
Your child's main doctor supervises the care they provide. |
