Our immunotherapy treatments can help you breathe easy

Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that can be used to help people who suffer from allergies. The principle behind immunotherapy is to expose the patient to small amounts of the allergens that trigger their reactions, in order to build up their immunity over time.

"One of the best doctors I've ever had"

Dr. Gharfeh is truly one of the best doctors I've ever had in my life. I'm 24 years old and have had asthma since I was 3, and nobody has been more helpful, caring, and intelligent than Dr. Gharfeh. She does a great job answering my questions and addressing my concerns, she explains my breathing problems in layman's terms so I'm able to understand, and she goes out of her way to show she cares about my health. I'm very grateful to have found Allergy and Asthma Care of Waco and Dr. Gharfeh. I also get allergy shots here and have found them to be extremely helpful in managing my severe allergies. On top of all this, the staff is incredibly friendly. I couldn't recommend this place more.
