UT Physicians allergists and immunologists specialize in diagnosing and treating allergies, asthma, and immune system disorders in children.

Our doctors provide allergy testing to identify triggers and specific allergens in children, so a comprehensive treatment plan and avoidance strategy can be developed for a wide variety of allergies and immunology-related conditions, including reactions to food, skin, drug, or bug bites.
