Asthma is one of the remaining challenges in pediatric health care.

The Children's Asthma Respiratory & Exercise Specialists (C.A.R.E.) provide the unique combination of clinical expertise and care, staff skilled in teaching and patient education, participation in the latest asthma research and comprehensive diagnostic services to address the specific needs of children with asthma.

Our office is capable of offering complete diagnostic services, including:

  • Exercise testing
  • Methacholine provocation
  • Spirometry
  • Bronchodilator administration and assessments
  • Lung volume determination
  • Airway resistance determination

Trained respiratory nurses and therapists offer expertise in medication management, as well as teaching proper inhaler and nebulizer use.

Whether your child's asthma is exercise-mediated, cold weather-induced, allergic-mediated, viral-induced or any of the other multiple causes of asthma, Dr. Boas and the staff at C.A.R.E. Specialists are prepared to meet your individual needs.
