Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Medication dosing: Medication dosing is based on response to therapy and sometimes drug blood levels (testosterone) or marker studies (hgb a1c). These issues should be addressed by the prescribing md. At times, a second opinion is needed if you feel your treatments are not meeting your expectations.
