I have clinical and research interests in bronchiectasis and chronic nontuberculous mycobacteria lung infections, as well as genetic conditions associated with chronic airway infection such as primary ciliary dyskinesia and primary immune deficiency.

While I see patients of all ages with any type of allergy issue, my area of expertise is food allergy. In particular, I focus on a unique allergy to red meat that appears to develop after tick or chigger bites. This allergy is a challenge to diagnose because the symptoms can range from stomach ache to hives and typically occur 4-6 hours after eating beef, pork or lamb. The connections required to make a diagnosis of alpha-gal allergy were only assembled by listening to patients, and it is this approach that guides my care.
