Dr. Vijay Sabnis on Sublingual Immunotherapy

Dr. Vijay Sabnis of Allergy Associates of La Crosse tells why sublingual immunotherapy is a viable option for children. The treatment provided at this clinic has improved the quality of life for allergic patients of all ages.

Almost 60% of the allergic disease begins in the pediatric age group and I always tell my patients that sublingual immunotherapy is like a godsend for children because, no shots. Therefore you can intervene very early, you can treat the root cause of the disease, you can prevent further progression of the disease. What more can you ask? I mean seeing these children coming in that these desperate parents they have seen at least 3-4 physicians before and they're being treated with a whole bunch of medications and the parents always ask 'are my children going to be on these medications for the for the rest of their lives? I want something different then. I want an alternative treatment.' This is why they come here from long distances. To see your patients who have been ill and sick and have seen many other physicians and haven't been better and then they come here, you diagnose them, you help them, not only them but their but their desperate parents, improve the quality of their life. What can be more lovable than this? This what I like the best. This is why we've been doing this for, I've been doing this for almost 30 years.
