The importance of treating the root cause of your allergies

When seasonal allergies come around, you might experience severe allergy symptoms. During those times, your immune system goes into overdrive. Over time, this can overtax and weaken your immune system, which makes it even more difficult to handle future illnesses. Your body's immune system plays a critical role in managing your allergies.



When you treat the underlying cause of allergy symptoms, you can help strengthen your immune system by preventing future stress on your body. Root cause treatment is methodical, effective, and critical to a personalized comprehensive care plan.
And you'll just feel better knowing what was making you feel bad in the first place. Let's fix the problem together. It's time to get out and live the life you want.



Call us and let's find out how we can help you stop or at least significantly reduce your allergies.

See what people have to say about AllergyWaco

They continue to impress me. I was away from clinic for a few months and I struggled with shortness of breath while trying to work in my yard. One day I had a bad asthma attack and asked the clinic would they see me immediately. That day they took care of me and 3 days later I was able to mow my backyard without short of breath. I should have know better because these same people has kept my allergies under control for many years. I’m just speechless and in Awe at what they do. To the entire staff especially Dr.Daftary and Mrs. Muenster, Thank you so much!

Patient of Allergy & Asthma Care of Waco

Today my husband and I both had appointments with Dr. Fowler. It was the best experience I’ve had with a doctor. He was thorough, we didn’t have to wait long, the whole staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Fowler is extremely knowledgeable. We drove in from out of town because my previous experience was so horrible. I have asthma and allergies. I highly recommend this doctors office and Dr. Fowler.
