Our Story
Our Allergy practice goes back to the 1970's with Dr. Don Strominger and later Dr. James Corry who in the early days saw general pediatric patients and children with cystic fibrosis. Over time the practice specialized in childhood asthma and allergies and eventually added adults patients to the mix. We've enjoyed helping all ages of patients with the treatment of their allergies and asthma for well over 30 years.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to be the leading caregiver for patients with allergies and chronic respiratory problems.
The goals of the practice have always been
- To provide the best possible medical care for our patients
- To treat each patient with dignity, respect, kindness, and courtesy
- To serve our community through preventative medicine and other outreach programs
- To have a smooth functioning practice in which the staff and the physicians work together in a spirit of harmony and cooperation
- To have highly qualified motivated personnel who are interested in their work and our patients
