Allergic complaints in primary care settings are sometimes more than they appear, raising the importance of good diagnostic criteria for other underlying problems. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough for an in-depth discussion of allergy in the general and specialized practice levels is Dr. Will Sheppard, a board certified Otolaryngologist/ Head and Neck Surgeon and a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy. His practice includes medical and surgical management of ear, nose, and throat disorders of pediatric and adult patients.
